Colby (CJ) Green, LPC

Colby (CJ) Green is an LPC based in Missouri who helps people facing midlife concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, and relationship strain. He supports people dealing with grief, anger, addictive behaviors, parenting challenges, ADHD, and career questions. Colby brings 17 years of clinical experience in inpatient and outpatient settings to his work with adults and adolescents.

His approach is warm and adaptable. He aims to treat each person with respect and compassion, and avoids judgment. Sessions are collaborative and practical, focusing on what matters most to the person in front of him.

Colby uses a range of methods to suit different problems and preferences. He draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow what the client needs, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation. He also uses Emotionally-Focused and Existential ideas when those fit a person's concerns.

In sessions he mixes coaching, teaching, and problem-solving. He will offer tools and strategies, and also challenge patterns that hold people back. Communication and treatment plans are adjusted as a person's needs change.

Getting started begins with a short matching process and scheduling. Colby emphasizes that beginning therapy can feel humbling, and he aims to make that first step clearer and more manageable.

Approach and online therapy options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It helps people feel heard and supports personal choices and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process includes checking in about what feels useful and adjusting direction as needed.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. It also lets people use time efficiently when bandwidth is limited or when a quick check-in is useful rather than a longer in-person visit. Licensed professionals can guide a plan that fits a client's schedule, needs, and daily routines.
