Dr. Clifford Green, LCSW

Dr. Clifford Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing sexual health and intimacy concerns alongside addiction, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. He works with issues such as sexual desire differences, compulsive sexual behavior, BDSM and kink matters, erectile concerns, and pain-related sexual difficulties. His background includes care for people with complex mental health needs and those facing grief, caregiver stress, or job-related strain.

Dr. Green practices from an integrative perspective. He draws on attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally focused approaches to tailor sessions to each person. He aims for a collaborative relationship where clients set goals and the therapist helps build practical skills and stronger emotional understanding.

He brings eight years of clinical experience and a doctorate in clinical psychology alongside his LCSW credential. That combination informs his work with people who have histories of trauma, serious mental illness, substance use concerns, or complicated personality and attachment patterns. He also has experience addressing issues common in LGBTQIA+ communities.

Sessions focus on building insight, practicing coping strategies, and finding small changes that add up. Conversations are direct and supportive, with attention to how relationships and past experiences shape current sexual and emotional difficulties. Dr. Green encourages clients to name their goals and try approaches that fit their life.

Approaches that shape online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current bonds and trust. It helps people see patterns in closeness and distance and work toward safer emotional connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and feelings; the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is happening, and helps people build self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That process can involve trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. If you plan to start, confirm which session formats are available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Many people find remote sessions helpful for regular check-ins, skills practice, and conversations about relationships and sexual health without rearranging their whole schedule.
