About Ruby

Ruby Gordon is a licensed counselor with 15 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges related to identity and relationships.

Background and approach

She works with a wide array of concerns including anger, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, parenting and career pressures, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and issues connected to body image and sexual expression. Her practice also addresses less commonly discussed topics such as attachment patterns, codependency, and aspects of alternative sexual culture.

Her therapeutic stance is collaborative and person-centered, blending practical, skills-focused tools with compassionate listening. Ruby draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and she integrates mindfulness and motivational techniques to build emotional regulation and sustain change.

Solution-focused elements are used to clarify goals and move toward tangible progress. Licensed as an LPC and LCMHC, Ruby sees clients in Georgia and offers multiple online session formats to fit different needs.

She emphasizes an affirming, nonjudgmental environment that supports personal growth and durable coping strategies while tailoring methods to each person’s experience and goals.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Ruby draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create an accepting space where a person’s own goals and values guide the work, helping with identity, relationship concerns, and self-understanding. Mindfulness Therapy is woven in to strengthen emotional regulation and present-moment awareness, which can support coping with grief, trauma responses, and ongoing mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she frames that exploration as a collaboration. Together the client and therapist will consider symptoms, personal preferences, and life circumstances to select or blend methods that feel most useful and sustainable for the client’s goals.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow people to fit therapy into busy schedules, continue care from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working on concrete strategies and personal growth with a licensed professional.
