Ruby Gordon

Ruby Gordon, LPC, LCMHC brings 15 years of clinical experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life changes. She creates an affirming space where people can talk about identity, grief, work strain, and relationship tensions without judgment. Her writing and tone are straightforward and practical in sessions.

Ruby uses a person-centered style that focuses on what matters most to each individual. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable steps to reduce overwhelm and manage strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to track patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems stuck.

Mindfulness practices are introduced when they fit a person's rhythm, often as brief exercises to steady attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help clarify goals and build momentum when people want change. These methods are blended to suit each client rather than applied rigidly.

Clients often bring concerns around identity, attachment, body image, caregiving stress, or workplace burnout. Ruby also supports people navigating kink and alternative sex culture, gender dysphoria, ADHD, and co-occurring mood concerns. Her aim is to help people build self-understanding and practical skills that carry into daily life.

She practices in Georgia and works in plain language so parents and busy adults can follow the work. To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Ruby blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make online sessions practical and grounded. Client-Centered Therapy means she prioritizes listening and understanding each person's experience before suggesting steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers clear exercises to practice between sessions.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy in short practices that can be done during or after a session to help with anger, anxiety, and stress. These mindfulness techniques are kept simple so they fit into daily life and can be practiced in short bursts when needed. The therapist will work together with each person to choose approaches that match their needs and goals, adjusting methods based on what proves helpful during early sessions.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Many people find online visits help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow quick check-ins on stressful days, and make it easier to use skills in real time between work or family commitments. The focus in online work is on practical tools, clear goals, and steps you can try between meetings.
