About Colby
Colby (CJ) Green, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri, has 17 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing depression, anxiety, anger, relationship and parenting concerns, ADHD, trauma, grief, addictions, stress, and a wide range of family-related issues. He describes his approach as adaptive and client-centered, and uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Colby has practiced in both inpatient and outpatient settings. He has worked with adolescents and adults on behavior change and emotion regulation. He frames his role as a guide, coach, teacher, and a source of practical tools.
His style is direct and respectful. He aims to communicate honestly and to set treatment expectations that fit each person. He says he will not always tell clients what they want to hear, but will focus on what is needed to make progress.
In sessions he applies Client-Centered Therapy alongside CBT, DBT, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and existential perspectives. These approaches show up as skills training, examination of thoughts and patterns, and attention to feelings in relationships.
Colby also lists focused attention on adoption and foster care, attachment issues, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and several mood and personality concerns. He accepts clients from Missouri and international clients, and conducts work in English.
To begin with him a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with location.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and values. It involves open listening, reflective responses, and helping people find their own answers to relationship and life problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns and behaviors. It uses structured exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can help with intense moods and relationship conflicts.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they adjust the approach over time so sessions stay practical and focused on measurable steps.
Confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also allows for skills practice between meetings and for using worksheets and structured exercises during sessions.
