About Ruby

Ruby Coopersmith is a Florida-licensed LMHC with 13 years of clinical experience supporting people who face stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and family challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and related issues.

Background and approach

She also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, communication and commitment problems, codependency, blended family dynamics, and other life transitions. Her practice emphasizes helping clients build coping skills, improve self-esteem, and navigate major changes with practical strategies and clear goals.

Her style blends a client-centered foundation with skill-based techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused approaches, selected to match each person’s needs and preferences. Ruby places importance on developing rapport and trust, teaching assertive communication, boundary setting, and identifying core beliefs that influence behavior.

She offers care that pays attention to the ways family, culture, and social context shape experience while helping clients move toward concrete improvements. Clients can expect a calm, respectful, and nonjudgmental therapeutic atmosphere aimed at fostering authenticity and practical change.

Ruby welcomes people ready to explore their patterns, learn new tools, and work collaboratively toward their goals.

Approach-driven online therapy that focuses on skills and personal meaning

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to help them explore values, identity, and life direction; this approach is useful for people looking to deepen self-understanding and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear, skills-based tools for identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often helping with anxiety, depression, addiction, and sleep or eating issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes practical strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when strong emotions or relationship patterns interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right method is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work with each person to assess their situation, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques or a combination of approaches that best support progress. Flexibility and client input guide how the work unfolds over time.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for people with busy or changing lives. These formats allow ongoing access to therapeutic tools, skill coaching, and conversational support while maintaining continuity of care regardless of location within Florida. The range of options supports clients who prefer real-time conversation or written exchanges for reflection and accountability.
