About Ruby
Ruby Gordon is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience helping people face stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and grief. She creates an affirming, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about identity, workplace strain, or changes at home. Her tone is calm and direct so conversations stay practical and clear.
Ruby uses a collaborative, person-centered style. She listens first, then helps clients set small, achievable goals. Sessions often focus on building skills for better sleep, managing anxious thoughts, and coping after loss or trauma.
Her work pulls from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to change unhelpful thinking and reduce stress. She also draws on solution-focused strategies to create short-term plans when people need concrete next steps. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and wants to make a life change.
Ruby has experience addressing a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar mood issues, eating and body image struggles, compassion fatigue, and challenges around gender and sexual identity. She also supports people coping with caregiver strain, first responder stress, and attachment or family of origin issues.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations, practical tools to try between sessions, and attention to sleep and rest when those areas are part of the problem. Ruby is licensed as an LPC and as an LCMHC and practices with attention to each person’s identity and goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience without judgment and responding with empathy and support. It helps people explore feelings, increase self-awareness, and decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence emotions and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines, which can help with sleep, anxiety, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, values, and daily life. That might mean trying CBT homework for sleep improvement or using mindfulness exercises to reduce nighttime worry, and adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when people need brief support. It can also let clients try different formats while keeping the focus on practical tools for sleep, stress, and emotional balance.
