About Colby
Colby (CJ) Green is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, addiction, and relationship or parenting concerns. He also supports those coping with life changes, anger, ADHD, intimacy issues, and recovery from trauma and abuse. Colby often assists people dealing with career struggles, self-esteem, and complications tied to adoption, foster care, or blended family situations.
Colby brings 17 years of clinical experience across inpatient and outpatient settings. He aims for a welcoming, practical approach and adapts how he works to fit each person. In sessions he listens first, then offers tools and coaching to address the immediate problem and build longer-term skills.
His approach draws on client-centered therapy to focus on the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful patterns, and dialectical behavior techniques for emotion regulation. He also incorporates emotionally-focused and existential ideas when they fit a person's needs and concerns such as coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
Colby describes his role as guide, coach, teacher, and cheerleader. He tries to be straightforward and honest while treating people with respect and without judgment. That practical stance means people usually leave sessions with clear next steps they can try between meetings.
People who choose Colby should expect direct conversation mixed with skill-building and check-ins. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on his availability through the platform’s appointment tools.
How Colby’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and values and asks the therapist to follow the client’s lead; online sessions can use that same orientation to tailor pacing and topics to what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and emphasizes practical exercises; online work often uses structured exercises and between-session practice to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for regulating emotions and handling crises, and those skills can be taught and practiced in sessions for issues like intense stress or anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different strategies and adjusting what’s used as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Licensed professionals use those practical benefits to help people build skills and cope more effectively in everyday situations.
