About Tiffany
Tiffany Ruff is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan who draws on seven years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and mindfulness strategies to help clients clarify goals, shift unhelpful thinking, and build practical coping skills. Her work also addresses family conflict, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and career or self-esteem challenges, with additional attention to life purpose, self-love, sexuality, traumatic brain injury, and young adult issues.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and nonjudgmental listening, creating space for clients to explore feelings and test new ways of responding. Tiffany integrates solution-focused methods when clients want to set concrete goals and track progress, and she brings trauma-focused skills when past harm affects present functioning.
Whether addressing immediate stressors or longer-term patterns, her approach combines skill-building with empathetic support to help clients move toward meaningful change.
Integrating CBT and Mindfulness for Remote Care
Online therapy with Tiffany combines evidence-informed approaches into practical, accessible work that can be done from home or elsewhere. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, manage cravings, and support goal-directed changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that help with stress, emotional regulation, and coping after trauma. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating a respectful space where clients guide what matters most to them.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tiffany works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so the plan fits each person’s circumstances. Clients can expect to explore options together and adjust the focus based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexible scheduling and continuity of care across different situations. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or other commitments while still accessing licensed professional support and structured therapy work.
