About Colby
Colby (CJ) Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults and adolescents on concerns such as anger, depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship problems, parenting challenges, and major life changes. Colby also supports people facing issues related to ADHD, grief, intimacy, LGBT concerns, and career strain.
Colby’s style is straightforward and adaptable. He aims to be respectful and direct, offering practical feedback rather than only reassurance. Sessions focus on clear communication and realistic steps the client can try between meetings.
He uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. That can include client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own goals, cognitive behavioral work to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
In session Colby can take on roles such as coach, teacher, and a source of concrete tools. He draws on past inpatient and outpatient experience to help people with behavior change and coping skills. People often leave with specific strategies to manage anger, reduce stress, or improve communication.
Colby also addresses more complex or long-standing patterns like attachment difficulties, codependency, or blended family stresses. He encourages honest conversation about what’s working and what isn’t, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspectives; the therapist listens closely and helps shape sessions around what the client wants to address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence emotions and teaches practical exercises to change those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Colby will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting strategies together rather than sticking rigidly to one model.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for quicker check-ins during stressful periods. Different formats also let people choose quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth options, or shorter meetings when a full hour is hard to schedule. Ask about current session options when you set up the first appointment to make sure the format works with daily life.
