More about me

Licensing: MA, LPC Years in Practice: 18 State: California

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

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Ranging from $60 to $90 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Gale is amazing. I love how she supports me and listens and helps me. She also sends me links on days that aren’t our appointments to help me.

Gale is very patient. She takes the time to listen and is very intuitive. I really have benefitted from our sessions .

Amazing therapist and a wonderful person. Helped me a lot. Very good listener and a good person to take advice from

I am so grateful for Gale. She is a great listener and she does so without judgment. Her advice and suggestions have helped and guided me to discover more about myself. I can share all my stories and feelings safely. Gale has so much wisdom and a full of spirit. I look forward to speaking to her, she makes my day! Thankyou Gale

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

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.

I have never had therapy before and finally decided it would be nice to talk to someone to try to understand and find ways to start feeling better about things going on. Gale came to my rescue. She is very nice, very pleasant, great at listening to me and has already given me ideas of things to do to help me. Would highly recommend her. I appreciate her so much!

Gale is absolutely wonderful. She is empathetic and a great listener. These words I write cannot express how much she has helped me and has changed my life. I will always be grateful for her.

My experience with Gale was extremely positive. She makes you feel at ease, and clarifies with you how she can help, while also being intuitive to your concerns and challenges. I would highly recommend Gale!

Gale is genuine, caring, experienced, and knows exactly how to meet you where you are. Would recommend her to anyone I know. She makes me day when we speak and her thoughtful exercises and questions have already helped me so much!

Gale Green listened to me when I needed someone to talk to, and gave me great advices on how I could work on myself to gain confidence and meet new people. It was a pleasant experience and I feel better now.

I’m really happy to work one-to-one with gale and benefit from her wisdom she really work hard with me and she always make me feel someone who are understanding

Gale is calm and understanding and has helped me so far! I recommend her to anyone out there.

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.

Gale brings a unique and effective blend of clinical expertise and real life experience into her counselling. She has been extraordinary in analysing and offering insights from listening to my stories, and offered practical and actionable advice such that I was able to realise the benefits of counselling in just 2 sessions.

Gale is an extremely wise and supportive therapist. She listens attentively and carefully helped me address my issues. As well as being a great therapist, she is clearly just a kind, caring person and very easy to get along with. I can honestly say that, thanks to Gale, I have learned and grown so much and will continue using her wisdom throughout my life. I would highly recommend working with her.

Gale is a fantastic therapist and has helped me unlock a lot of issues and work on tackling them one piece at a time. She always has a smile for me and I look forward to our sessions; it's like catching up with an old friend (but one who can ACTUALLY help you instead of just random advice). 10/10 would recommend Gale!

Gale, listens to all my concerns and listens intensely and then provides some support for me. The support is what you need to hear she coaches you through strategies to help through the issue at hand. She keeps a good memory of what we have spoken about in the past and can find common themes through all the general discussions

Gale is kind, understanding, and thoughtful. I went to her to help me figure out what I was missing To be able to be healthier mentally. I am so very glad that I trusted her and got her as my therapist. She truly is, in my opinion, one of the best at what she does. I wouldn’t be where I am mentally without her. 5 out of 5 stars.

Gale is super experienced in listening people and asking the right questions. She helps me to find the root cause of the problem by fair and objective view point.

Gale is wonderful to speak with and listens and gives her honest opinions.

She listens and analyses my issues deeply and carefully, I recommend her

She is one of the kindest people I know and helped me in a hard time. I can recommend her highly and if I ever need therapy again, I hope I can come back to her! :)

Gale is honest and understanding. She is able to make relevant connections with the personal information that you share with her. Gale asks you thought provoking questions and challenges your thoughts and ideas. This makes you realise and see things from a different perspective. Gale listens to you and is very empathetic.

Thank you for listening me well Gale and I really appreciate the sessions with you! I learn a lot!

A loving, caring and smart personality, she listens carefully and pays close attention to whatever minor thing you have to say, she is reassuring and comforting. She isn’t afraid to ask the important questions and be very honest with you. Overall a genuine and kind person to talk to

Gale is great to work with, always willing to give useful and direct feedback and insights no matter what topic, challenge, or random tangent you bring to her.

Gale is terrific to work with. She brings a range of approaches and frameworks to the sessions, as well as her own insight and wisdom. I feel totally supported and heard. Working with Gale has been an important part of my journey and a key support during the stress of lockdown.

Gale is direct, she gives honest advice while still being kind. I have done therapy a few times now and I can say she is the type of person I look for in a therapist. She is to the point, but kind and very respectful and professional

Gale has helped me work on myself and become a better person. I have been very happy with our sessions and I feel more confident now than when we started. She is a great listener and offers specific advice. It has been a beneficial experience.

I have had a wonderful experience with Gale. She was able to offer me insights and helped me make connections with my past & gave me the tools to overcome what has been holding me back. I now have so much more control over my mind thanks to my time with Gale, and I'm so grateful for her help in enabling me to get out of my rut.

Gale Green is kind , sympathetic , really listens and remembers the details of our conversations. She offers insights and support and this is comforting and empowering.

I have learned and benefited a lot from my sessions with Gale. She is a great and empathetic listener who always made me feel heard and seen while continuously providing me with new insights. Gale followed up with assignments and was very responsive to any questions. Overall a great experience.

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.

This is my first individual therapy engagement. Gale has met and exceeded my expectations. She has been an excellent resource, and has been very insightful throughout the therapy process, helping me to identify difficult issues that I would not have otherwise considered.

Gale is very understanding and within the first two sessions had provided me with insight and new perspectives that genuinely made me think. She is calm and cheerful and very easy to talk to.

Good listener, I like to talk to her

Gale is a very dedicated lady she regularly checks up on her clients to make sure they are okay and committed to bettering their lives and mental health

I was introduced to Gale as my therapist during a difficult point in my life. I had experienced a recent loss of family, difficulties with close family members, extreme stress with work and my personal life, and she was able to start the process to help me through that. Gale is not only professional, she is efficient at finding the core of her clients therapy needs. She is also kind, considerate, passionate about her job, and personable. Right away I found myself able to speak openly to her without fear of judgement. She was honest and sincere when I needed her to be, and able to laugh and joke with me when I needed a break from the tension. Her versatility in helping me to tackle different obstacles in my life through questionnaires, role playing, and simply talking with me, is deeply appreciated. I look forward to continuing my healing process with her and I would recommend her whole heartedly.

I'm in my 3rd week of using better help and my counselor Gale Green is absolutely amazing. I've my life I've had 3 counselors and I feel with Gale I have a plan in motion for making progress. The tools/ worksheets better help provides are also beneficial for me. I also love being able to have weekly video calls, journaling, and messages to Gale.

Very empathic and knowledgeable. Great listener!

Very professional and compassionate. Gale is a wonderful counselor that I highly appreciate.

Gale Green is a supportive, kind understanding professional that makes clients feel valued.
