About Rutanya
Rutanya Simon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience. She practices in Texas and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, bipolar symptoms, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, anger, parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, and career pressures.
She has three years of experience working within the court system supporting people through recovery and major life changes. For the past five years she has focused on helping individuals connected to family difficulties and related mental health challenges. That background gives her practical experience with substance use, impulsivity, and problems that arise after separations or infidelity.
Her style is conversational and solution-focused. Sessions tend to look at current behaviors that get in the way of goals, then try different, concrete steps to change those behaviors. She works with clients to identify prosocial activities and routines that support healthier habits over time.
Rutanya emphasizes a collaborative relationship where the client’s perspective matters. She encourages people to take the lead on goals while she helps maintain focus and track progress. That shared approach is aimed at clear, achievable steps rather than long lists of theory.
People who prefer straightforward, practical work often find this approach useful. Rutanya combines her court-system experience and family-focused work to support people dealing with everyday stressors, relationship strain, and recurring patterns like codependency or control issues.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rutanya uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that work well over remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client’s priorities to build workable goals. It helps when someone needs to talk through feelings and decide what matters most. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavioral changes to reduce unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and habits that feed addiction.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will review your concerns and preferences, try strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. This means the plan can change as you learn what works and what does not for your daily life.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and avoid travel time. They also let the therapist and client work together on behavioral experiments and real-world steps that can be practiced between sessions.
