About Gale
Gale began counseling after a long career in other fields and after her children were grown. She completed a master’s degree and has spent about 20 years practicing as an LPC in Missouri. Her life experience is part of how she connects with clients and hears their concerns.
In sessions Gale emphasizes listening first. She aims to create a space where people can say what matters most and be honest about their goals. From there she and the client work together to identify the core issues and practical steps forward.
Her clinical approaches include Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These methods are tools she uses to match the work to each person’s needs and preferences.
Gale has worked with a wide range of people over the years, including active duty military families, refugees and immigrants, people who were incarcerated, and many others seeking change. She offers services in English and accepts clients in Missouri as well as international clients, for adults aged 21 and older.

How Gale's Approaches Work in Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and coping with stress. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away, which can reduce anxiety and improve attention.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Gale will work with each person to see which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques as progress is made and as needs change, so the plan evolves with the client rather than being fixed from the start.
Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow people in other states or countries to connect with a licensed professional in Missouri. Ask about formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your routine and preferences.
