Ruby Gordon, LPC, LCMHC

Ruby Gordon is a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and identity concerns. She also addresses issues like ADHD, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals. She listens first, then helps clients try tools that fit their life and routines.

Ruby uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build steady habits. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused work to set short-term goals and track progress.

Her approach emphasizes realism and small gains. Conversations often include taking apart a worry, testing a new behavior, and reviewing what worked. Clients leave with concrete actions to try between sessions and ways to notice progress.

Ruby holds LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) and LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) credentials and practices in Georgia. She creates an affirming atmosphere for people exploring gender, sexuality, kink and related concerns, and for those navigating career or caregiving strain. Language of work is English.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Ruby uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and between-session practice to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood during sessions.

Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she offers to teach attention skills and calm racing thoughts. Those practices can be short and practical, such as breathing exercises or brief body scans that fit into a work break or bedtime routine.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client will try methods that match needs and adjust them as progress is tracked.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or coaching between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the format that best supports each step of care.
