About Ruby
Ruby Gordon is a licensed counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and phobias. She builds a calm, accepting space where people can talk through what’s worrying them and try small, practical steps toward feeling better. She focuses on everyday concerns like sleep problems, low self-esteem, anger, and coping with life changes.
She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, eating and body image struggles, ADHD, and issues around identity and gender.
Background and approach
Ruby pays attention to how relationships and family history affect current difficulties. Ruby uses clear, direct methods that people can apply between sessions. She draws from client-centered work to shape the conversation around each person’s goals.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and develop alternative coping skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas often show up in her sessions too. Those approaches help people notice patterns, build small habits, and try targeted experiments to see what helps.
Motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Ruby holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential, listed as SC LPC and NC LCMHC. She practices in Georgia and communicates in English.
For people looking for an approachable, practical therapist, Ruby aims to make therapy understandable and doable.
How Ruby’s Methods Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses the work on the person’s priorities. The therapist listens closely and follows what matters most to you, helping shape sessions around your goals and pacing.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. In short, you’ll test new ways of thinking and small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, phobias, or low mood. Mindfulness therapy trains simple awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a hands-free check-in fits a work break. Live chat or text is helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers written conversation. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
