About Ruby
Ruby Gordon is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and other life changes. She also addresses concerns related to ADHD, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue.
Clients can expect a straightforward, collaborative style. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical strategies, and learning skills to manage strong emotions like anger and overwhelm. Conversations are direct and centered on what the client wants to change or understand.
Ruby uses a mix of approaches that fit the problem at hand. She draws on client-centered methods to explore what matters most to the person. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity.
She works with topics that include attachment issues, body image, family of origin concerns, communication and control issues, and areas related to gender and sexual identity such as gender dysphoria and kink culture. Ruby also supports people dealing with workplace stress, first responder strain, caregiving burden, and the complex overlap of multiple diagnoses.
Sessions aim to build practical tools for everyday life. That may mean learning breathing or grounding practices, testing new communication patterns, or setting up small behavior changes to reduce angry reactions. The focus is on steady progress and usable skills rather than labels.
Ruby practices in Georgia and holds the credential abbreviations LPC and LCMHC as listed. She provides services in English and does not accept international clients at this time.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people clarify values, priorities, and the changes they want to make in their relationships and daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice it helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, test new ways of responding, and reduce angry or anxious reactions with stepwise behavioral experiments.
Mindfulness therapy uses simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity. Short exercises teach noticing bodily signals and pausing before responding, which can be useful when anger feels automatic.
Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative task. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try concrete tools, and adjust strategies based on what helps. That process often begins in the first few sessions and is adjusted as needs change.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a lunch break or a quiet hour at home. Discussing practical scheduling preferences is part of the initial setup so sessions fit daily life.
