About Ruby
Ruby Gordon is a licensed counselor with 15 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. She offers clear, practical support for depression, grief, and the strain of life changes. Her approach is inclusive and respectful of diverse identities, including LGBT concerns and gender dysphoria.
Ruby keeps sessions focused and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people name patterns that cause distress. Together they set small, doable goals and track progress between meetings.
Background and approach
Her work blends client-centered conversations with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means clients both talk about what matters and practice skills that change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to build momentum and clarify next steps.
Ruby has supported people facing trauma, caregiver stress, first responder strain, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and codependency. She also addresses concerns around body image, attachment wounds, kink and alternative sex culture, sleep and eating difficulties, and workplace or parenting pressures. Based in Georgia, Ruby holds LPC and LCMHC credentials.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time. People who want a practical, respectful counselor will find straightforward guidance and tools to manage anger, cope with change, and build healthier habits.

Approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people clarify their values and goals. This approach is useful for building self-understanding and addressing identity or relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, anger, or depression. Sessions often include homework exercises to practice new ways of thinking and responding between meetings.
Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and bodily sensations. It helps reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation by teaching simple awareness practices.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility and convenience. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when that matters most. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and work well for check-ins. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or days when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping momentum between sessions.
