About Ruby

Ruby Gordon is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LCMHC, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, with 15 years of experience. She practices in Georgia and works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and identity concerns. Ruby lists social anxiety and phobia among the areas she addresses, along with grief, ADHD, and trauma and abuse.

Her way of working is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She uses conversations to identify what feels most urgent and then tests small changes to see what helps in daily life.

Ruby draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the person's experience central, and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention skills and Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change.

In sessions she talks through specific strategies for managing anxiety, improving sleep, handling anger, and coping with life changes. She helps people problem-solve around work, parenting stress, caregiving strain, and body image concerns. When trauma or identity issues come up, she addresses those with sensitivity and practical coping tools.

Her background across clinical settings over 15 years means she has worked with a wide range of concerns. People who reach out can expect focused sessions that aim to clarify goals, practice new skills, and track what is and isn’t working.

Approaches used in remote work and how they help

Ruby commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on the person’s perspective and aims to make sessions responsive to what matters most to them. This approach is useful when someone needs space to sort through identity, relationship, or emotional concerns.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people test unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she brings in to teach attention and grounding skills. Those practices can help with intrusive thoughts, stress, sleep problems, and managing intense emotions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods for a few sessions, and adjust based on what fits the person’s needs and preferences. This helps keep work practical and relevant to daily life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people use audio-only options if video is difficult. Licensed professionals can help pick formats and scheduling that fit each person’s routine.
