About Colby
Colby (CJ) Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience. He lists family and parenting concerns among his focuses and works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, stress, addictions, grief, and relationship challenges.
He has treated people in both inpatient and outpatient settings and has experience with adolescents and adults. His sessions are direct and practical. He aims to be clear about expectations and offers concrete tools alongside conversation.
Colby uses several therapeutic approaches depending on what fits the person and the problem. He draws from client-centered work to keep the person’s perspective central. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
In sessions he acts as a coach, teacher, and a source of tools. That can look like learning new ways to communicate, practicing emotion regulation skills, or planning small behavior changes to reduce stress. He can also talk through parenting strains, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and caregiver stress.
Colby accepts sessions in English and works with clients across different locations, including internationally. He uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Colby's approaches translate to online work
Colby commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in his practice. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, helping them lead the conversation and set goals. CBT looks at specific thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing healthier interpersonal behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That may mean combining approaches and adjusting methods as progress and needs become clearer.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use telephone-only options when bandwidth is limited or choose camera sessions when visual cues help progress. The therapist and client will agree on the practical setup that works best for scheduling and the intended focus of therapy.
