About Clifford
Dr. Clifford Green offers support for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar disorder, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, ADHD, and career stress. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and works from Honolulu, Hawaii.
His approach aims to help people feel steadier and more in control of their day-to-day life. He prefers an individualized approach. Sessions focus on what the person needs now rather than a single rigid method.
Background and approach
He blends practical skills with time to talk through painful experiences and relationship patterns. That can mean learning tools to manage strong emotions, examining attachment patterns, or practicing clearer communication. Dr.
Green has eight years of clinical experience and draws on several therapeutic approaches. He uses methods that help people reframe unhelpful thoughts, build emotional regulation skills, and repair important relationships. He also brings knowledge of how trauma and loss affect behavior and mood.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, he understands issues around sexual orientation, gender identity, kink, and non-traditional relationships. He also has experience addressing sexual trauma, compulsive sexual behavior, and intimacy-related concerns in adults. Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
International clients who speak English may work with him. Therapy sessions are delivered via a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Green commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships and emotional reactions; this helps when people struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship patterns. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that drive anxiety, depression, or work and relationship stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship feelings and emotional connection are the focus, helping partners or individuals name and respond to core emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if a different focus or skill set would help more.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support quick coaching, homework check-ins, or ongoing connection between longer sessions.
