Dee Anna Green

I became a counselor because I value the opportunity to walk alongside people during some of the most challenging and meaningful seasons of their lives. I have always been drawn to helping others recognize their strengths, gain clarity, and discover that meaningful change is possible. As a counselor and counselor educator, I have seen how powerful it can be when someone feels genuinely heard, supported, and encouraged. I chose this profession because I believe counseling can provide a safe space for people to better understand themselves, work through challenges, and move toward the life they want to create.

I work best with motivated adults who are ready to gain insight, make positive changes, and take meaningful steps toward their goals.

I wish every client knew that they have more power in their own lives than they may realize. While we cannot always control what happens to us, we can develop the awareness, skills, and confidence to choose how we respond and take steps toward improving our lives. Therapy is not about someone else “fixing” you; it is a collaborative process that can help you recognize your strengths, understand yourself more deeply, and create meaningful change. Healing takes time, and every small step forward matters.

During your first session, we will complete an intake, which involves asking a variety of questions about what brings you to counseling, your background, current concerns, and what you hope to accomplish. This helps me develop a clearer picture of what you are experiencing and determine how I can best support you. In the early stages of therapy, we will focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, identifying your goals, and developing a plan for working toward those goals. My goal is for you to feel comfortable, heard, and actively involved in the counseling process from the beginning.

I am naturally a people person, and I genuinely value connecting with and helping others. I find meaning in supporting people as they navigate challenges, discover their strengths, and work toward the lives they want to live.

I believe every client is unique, and therapy should be tailored to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I take time to understand each client’s experiences, strengths, concerns, values, and goals so we can develop an approach that feels meaningful and realistic for them. While I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I adapt the strategies and pace of therapy based on each client’s needs and readiness for change. I also value collaboration, regularly checking in with clients about what is and is not working so that we can adjust our approach as needed. My goal is for clients to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their own growth and progress.
