Ruby Gordon

Ruby Gordon is a licensed counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and career concerns. She brings 15 years of experience to sessions and aims to create an affirming space for people from diverse backgrounds. Ruby uses a straightforward, collaborative style to help people find practical ways forward.

Her work often focuses on identity, navigating change, and repairing difficult relationships. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns like body image, attachment issues, codependency, and gender dysphoria.

Ruby blends client-centered listening with goal-focused methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small, manageable changes. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools help clarify goals and identify next steps.

In sessions she aims for clear, practical plans rather than long lists of abstract concepts. People can expect direct questions, gentle reflection, and homework when it fits their goals. She often frames work around improving daily routines, coping skills, and communication.

Ruby is credentialed as an LPC and as an LCMHC and works in Georgia. She welcomes conversations about career concerns and coaching alongside clinical issues. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online work using this approach keeps the focus on the client's goals, allowing time to name priorities and try small changes between sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and tests small experiments to change them. In an online setting CBT can be used to build routines, tackle anxious thoughts, and practice new ways of reacting to stress.

Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions without judgment and develop calmer responses. Online sessions can introduce short practices and then review how they fit into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying one approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress is observed.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online formats before booking. Generally, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It also lets people work on skills in the settings where they live and work, so changes translate directly into daily routines.
