Ruby Gordon helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes.
01About Ruby
Ruby Gordon helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. She is a licensed professional counselor - LPC and a licensed clinical mental health counselor - LCMHC with 15 years of experience. Her work often addresses identity concerns, trauma, grief, and challenges around eating and sleeping.
Ruby keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set small, practical goals. Conversations focus on what’s happening now and on skills that can be used between sessions.
Background and approach
She uses clear language and offers steps people can try that fit into daily life. In her practice Ruby pays attention to how relationships and family history shape feelings. She also supports people exploring gender identity, sexual expression, and alternative sexual cultures.
Clients may bring concerns about burnout, caregiving stress, ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, or issues like guilt and shame, and she helps them make sense of those experiences. Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness practices. That means she balances listening with concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want short-term goals or clearer motivation to change. People who meet with Ruby usually work on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing symptoms that get in the way of daily life. She works by setting realistic steps and checking progress together.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through a range of formats.

04Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience. In online sessions this shows up as focused conversations where the therapist follows the client's lead and reflects what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical techniques to change patterns of thinking and behavior; online CBT often uses homework, thought records, and short skill practices between meetings to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to keep or change as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversational experience, while phone calls can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make shorter check-ins and ongoing support easier to schedule. These options help people access therapy around work, caregiving, or travel constraints while keeping focus on practical skills and progress.
