Dr. Clifford Green, LCSW

Dr. Clifford Green is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Hawaii with eight years of clinical experience. He works with concerns such as addiction, trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, anxiety and panic, relationship and intimacy issues, and stress related to work and caregiving. He also addresses LGBT matters, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

Dr. Green draws on several well-known therapeutic approaches and combines them to fit each person's situation. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and exploring patterns that get in the way of everyday functioning. He uses techniques that help people manage strong emotions, improve communication, and rebuild trust in relationships.

His background includes social work training with a focus on behavioral mental health and additional graduate study in clinical psychology. That mix informs his work with people who have complex needs, including co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. He has experience with trauma, serious mental illnesses, and issues related to sexual health and alternative sexual cultures.

Dr. Green identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community and says this informs his understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity topics. He works with people who want direct, practical help - for example reducing panic attacks, stabilizing mood swings, managing addiction triggers, or improving intimacy and communication.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. People can expect straightforward conversation, skill building, and periodic review of progress to adjust treatment as needed.
