More about Gale

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Welcome! I’m Gale Green, M.A., L.P.C. and I appreciate the willingness and trust you have taken to address an issue you would like to examine. With that in mind, allow me to share who I am and what I can offer to you.

I began this part of my life journey after working in many industries and at many jobs. After my children were grown and gone, I decided to pursue my lifelong career dream of counseling people. After returning to school and obtaining my Master's Degree, I took early retirement to begin my new career.

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Missouri for eighteen years. During these years I worked with many individuals and families - active duty military families, refugees and immigrants that fled war and torture; incarcerated individuals and their families, as well as ordinary couples and families who seek to improve their lives. Please know that along with my professional training and licensing, I bring the addition of my many decades of life experiences that, I believe, have proven invaluable to my empathy and understanding of where you may be in your life. I strive, first and foremost, to LISTEN. If I don’t do that, I will not know what you need or what we will need to do together to address your reasons for counseling.

The therapeutic approaches that I have found most effective are Solution Focused Therapy, Eclectic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. You may not know what any of these therapies mean. THAT’S OKAY! These therapies are merely a way to help me determine the best way to help you feel comfortable, to help you identify your true problem and provide a framework to help me help you find ways for you to manage or eliminate the concern that brought you to counseling.

My goal is to always be empathetic and supportive of your thoughts, ideas, and needs. Honesty is an invaluable part of therapy and I will always aim to help you feel safe enough to be honest with yourself, so that you can be honest with me, as we collaborate to meet your therapy goals. Judgment is not a part of how I function. Ultimately, my overarching desire is to LISTEN, be SUPPORTIVE, and HELP YOU IDENTIFY your true reason for counseling NOW, and then work with you to achieve your counseling goals with open and honest communication.

At this time, I am only accepting clients that are 21 and older and that reside in the State of Missouri or countries outside of the USA. If you think you would like to give working with me a try, I would be most honored to work with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Reviewed June 2024

Being new to therapy and well into my adulthood I had a lot of preconceived thoughts on therapy in general and it gave me anxiety. That’s the reason I hadn’t started therapy until now. I am thankful of the way that BetterHelp facilitates therapy and makes it accessible financially and via phone ,chat and text to your therapist! I am thankful of the mini tools available on the website, and I am very appreciative of my therapist Gail Green. She really put my mind at ease almost immediately, she listens very well and honing in on what might be an underlying issue that I hadn’t even thought of. Immediately after my first therapy session, I was left being very impressed with her expertise, professionalism and kindness. I was then left with looking very deeply into my past and being very aware of myself in ways that I hadn’t thought to do previously I’m already thinking that my therapy is helping even after the first session. Gail gave me specific homework assignments and explained the purpose of them and what she’s looking for in those assignments . Even though it’s really early on, I really have a good feeling about Gail Green as my therapist and I think that she will be a good fit for me and myself being a good fit for her hopefully.

Immediate feeling of calmness and that she's going to be with you every step of the way.

Reviewed February 2024

I've had several therapists before and after 1 session the resources she pinpointed for me were my style of learning, even without knowing me well. Maybe it was luck, but I took it as a good sign. Others sent me to podcasts which I tried but wasn't a fan. She linked me to a source with studies and research data and I read these in my spare time, but random ones from ADHD rabbit-hole curiosity questions. Now I can target that spare time to more studies that help me learn about myself. Within a few articles I saw science data backing questions I have asked my in office doctors that have said "It's possible, yeah". Like hormone levels and ADHD. I had my doctor check mine and they admitted they weren't sure of a correlation to my symptoms. So I'm grateful she found a resource I never searched out on my own. Also when I read Gale's background about her career, I got a sense that she does the work because she has a gift for compassion. That may not be what everyone needs for therapy. Some people need sterile clinical approach, which I can appreciate because like I said I love reading research studies. But as someone who is an " I'm fine" person for far too long, I think it is going to take a compassionate therapist to allow me to allow myself to be honest about what I need help with.

Gale isnt a blank sheet that bounces back your own words. Gale has years of wisdom that she brings to the chair and she shares relevant details from her own life and gives you space to explore yours. She also brings a vibrant personality - while she's qualified and knowledgeable, she's also a bit of a bright gem amongst some overly serious practitioners. Gail gets to the point but never pushes me beyond my limits, and she respects the experience I have of my situation, which I haven't felt in the past. Overall, I'd say she's struck a fine balance. Very thankful to have found her.

I started working with Gale 2 months ago when the loss of my beloved cat became too much to bear. During my work with Gale I realised that this bereavement had brought years of trauma to the surface as my resilience was so low. Gale helped me to face that trauma, go through it, write about it and eventually burn it. Releasing me from years of metaphorical shackles that dictated so much of my life. This was the most important thing I’ve ever done for myself and I couldn’t have done it without Gale. A truly wonderful, warm and understanding person who only wanted the best for me. It was a difficult journey that would have been much more difficult if it weren’t for her. If you are considering therapy, take it from me that it is absolutely the right thing to do. I can now live my life free of burden and start a marriage as this new woman. I am endlessly grateful for Gale. I wish I could put into words what this meant for me but they just wouldn’t do it justice. Thank you. For everything.
