About Colby
Colby (CJ) Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 17 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and codependency. He also helps people struggling with anger, parenting concerns, ADHD, and life changes.
Colby has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and has experience supporting both adolescents and adults. In sessions he speaks plainly and directly. He offers coaching, practical tools, and frank feedback rather than vague reassurance. Clients should expect clear communication about goals and next steps.
His approach draws from client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work to build better emotional regulation and relationship skills. Existential ideas are used when people are wrestling with meaning, purpose, or big life choices.
Colby tends to adapt the pace and tools to each person. He will listen first, then suggest skills, practice them in session, and track progress. He frames therapy as a mix of teaching, coaching, and problem solving so clients can try different strategies between meetings.
People who keep putting others first, have trouble saying no, or feel stuck after loss or change often seek him out. He asks straightforward questions and offers concrete steps for coping, boundary-setting, and rebuilding a sense of agency.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort feelings and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving tolerance for distress, which can help with anger and relationship reactivity.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying skills, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay focused and useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets clients practice skills in their regular routines and bring real-life examples to session for immediate problem solving.
