More about me

Licensing: Ed.S., LPC Years in Practice: 17 State: Missouri

I am an individual and family counselor licensed in the state of Missouri. I have over 15 years of experience as a clinical therapist in both inpatient and outpatient settings along with treating both adolescents and adults. Over the years I have worked with individuals, both adolescents and adults, with a wide variety of struggles including depression, anxiety, behavior modification, relationship issues, and anger management just to name a few.

My counseling style is welcoming and adaptive. I strive to treat individuals with respect, compassion, and a holistic approach without judgment or bias. I may not always tell you what you want to hear, but will always remain committed to telling you what you need to hear. I will always work to have our communication and treatment expectations adapt to you as an individual and your specific needs.

It is never the easiest thing to take the first step towards change and humbling ourselves. With that in mind, I am here to help be a guide, coach, teacher, cheerleader, and a library of tools to help you tackle whatever life may throw at you.

I look forward to working 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. Starting at $65 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

Colby has helped me to face the darkest parts of myself and in the process helped me change my life and become a better person, truly grateful to be able to work with him

His ability to attune and resonate enables a connecting with empathy and compassion.

He does a great job with keeping everything simple and giving a good perspective on how to get better and the prognosis of the situation. Highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable and open minded. Brutally honest when necessary which is something I personally need. Very understanding and helps you to set realistic goals. Great experience so far.

I found it very easy to become comfortable with Colby right away. He’s super patient, let’s me process things at my own speed and always has something insightful and thoughtful to say back.

CJ was a life preserver when I was drowning in grief. He’s help me pull myself out and catch a breath. I’ve appreciated our sessions.

Been a huge help and resource.

CJ had been great and helped me work though my sister's

Dedicated, professional, and personable. He can talk to me in my language. He's not your stereotypical therapist and I appreciate that

CJ is amazing and he really listen to you. I would recommend CJ to anybody who’s going through a great depression. He listen, he can relate, he’s very smart and he is wise. If you have Colby Green as your therapist, then everything will work out.

He does his job well. Very easy and comfortable to talk to

He’s been vital in helping me feel better around many aspects in my day-to-day.

Colby is the man and really helped me not feel alone in my adhd journey as it is new.

CJ's great. Really helped me with my issues and I saw rapid and concrete improvements

CJ was incredible and helped fix my dilemma in just three sessions. He gave great advice, listened, and opened up my mind. Highly recommend!

By far the best therapy experience I’ve had

CJ has been a Godsend and he has helped me get more organized and shown me new processes in dealing with anxiety

I had no idea when going into therapy that I’d stick at it for as long as I did, and I definitely didn’t know that it was capable of having the impact that it did. I’ve tried therapy 3 times before I started with Better Help and CJ, and nothing changed. I have absolutely no idea how he did it, but CJ has helped me become myself. I can’t say again because I don’t think I’ve ever, in all my life, been as content with who I am as I am now. Things that I thought were normal for everyone, and wrong with me, actually weren’t wrong with me at all. I’ve come to terms with who I am. It turned out that what I initially though was “wrong” with how I thought and felt wasn’t the problem at all. It was a result of many other ways I’d been thinking and feeling. And that may sound cliche, but when you’ve spent you’re whole entire life believing you’re someone else, and living in the only way you know how to; you believe that being better and being content just isn’t for you. It’s for other people, people who haven’t made the same mistakes as you, people who are less “crazy” than you. But it’s not true. I have already told many people about my experience with CJ, and I truly believe in therapy now. I believe that when you find the right therapist, who respects you and you click with, it will change your life. I could say so much about my experience, but it wouldn’t do it justice. Thank you for changing my life, CJ.

He is a joy to work with

He’s very good at making you feel comfortable enough to open up to him.

It's great to know even when life gets in the way of self help, help is always still there available when and opportunity comes. And especially the same therapist.

He listens everything and takes time to see what my problem is before jumping to conclusions

Very easy to talk to. No judgement in his voice. He always lightens my mood and helped me a lot.

aAlthough I just had a few sessions with him, I felt a lot better than before. He’s a thorough listener and really calms me down whenever I felt panic.

Thank u

CJ has helped me to make real progress in developing myself and dealing with my mental health. I am forever grateful for his support, and guidance.

I really feel listened to and I have work through a lot of my areas of struggle. I appreciate the consistency of his support!

He's a really nice and cool dude. I highly recommend!

I'm from Ukraine, I'm having a hard time now, but Cobi motivates me a lot, a very good person and doctor, I recommend

Level headed, easy going, provides effective analogies to help enlighten my understanding

CJ is a great listener, and he's able to give new and fresh perspectives. Definitely worth recommending!

CJ has been awesome! He actively listens, provides exercises & feedback that helps me to better understand the things I’m struggling with & identify long term coping skills. He’s easy to talk to, I never feel judged & I feel like we have covered more ground based on the way he conducts therapy.

I have made a great deal of progress with CJ and I am happy that he is willing the help me with my problems.

CJ is highly empathetic and very competent in helping me walk through the issues that I am currently facing. He is also very professional and ready to help me challenge some of the thought patterns that are engrained in my way of being, but are not useful. Overall, a huge thanks to CJ for helping me!

CJ is attentive and easy to talk to, he made me comfortable from early days

I am very comfortable talking to CJ he makes it easy to open up explain my situation without feeling embarrassed. He show empathy at time which goes along way

Excellent therapist

CJ is a great counselor, he listened to me from day one and instantly guided me to a better place on our first session, I have made progress very quickly with CJ's help. I find CJ to be very relatable and real, he is a kind and positive person. I feel that this is a great quality for a counselor to possess. I am greatful to have CJ as a counselor and I highly recommend his services.

So far Colby has been great to work with!

CJ is a great listener, he provides a lot of insight and has helped me a lot to understand what I need and has helped me analyze my trail of thoughts. He is very easy to talk to and I feel very comfortable with him as my therapist.

CJ is an excellent counsellor and very knowledgeable. He has great insights, relatable anecdotes, supportive / nonjudgmental and is a great friend to lend an ear. Would certainly recommend his services any day of the week.

CJ is awesome! He listens, is open minded, understanding, and personable. He gives great advice/direction. Very grateful for his experience, and relatability!

I was extremely dubious about starting therapy in general, let alone alone via an app. I went to start with BetterHelp 3 times and backed out, until one day I knew I had no other choice than to seek help. I was quickly matched with CJ and honestly at first, I had no expectations whatsoever. I'd left therapy feeling very let down in the past, so I was somehow expecting to feel the same this time around too. However, after my first session with CJ I knew that I had been matched to the best fit for me. He takes an extremely positive, open-minded and supportive approach and tells you what you need to hear whilst taking your own character into consideration. In just three sessions I've realised so much more about myself and opened up about so much more than I have ever done before. I've gone through three months of therapy in the past and not even got close to this many promising realisations and conclusions. Some things have been really hard for me to say, and I think they're things I never thought I'd say out loud, as previously I still felt as though my therapists would judge me. This time, however, I knew I wouldn't be judged, and I wasn't. I never thought I'd laugh about the way I feel, or that I could even see "my issues" in a positive light. I find it extremely easy to take on board what he's saying and I feel he's taking me in a very positive direction. Thank you CJ!

Transparent and real. Insightful even with a little information.
