About Emily
Emily Ruby is an LPC based in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She brings a background in working with children and families in educational settings, where she partnered with parents and school staff to address behavioral challenges and strengthen parenting strategies.
Background and approach
Her practice emphasizes practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life transitions while offering focused support around ADHD and blended family dynamics. Her approach is client-centered and adaptable, combining elements from evidence-based therapies to meet individual needs.
Emily supports parents navigating the demands of caregiving and professionals coping with workplace stress, helping clients build confidence, set boundaries, and develop sustainable coping skills. She also attends to young adult concerns and the specific adjustments that arise during major life changes.
Emily aims to create a respectful, empathetic atmosphere where clients can explore goals and try new strategies. She is open to integrating faith into counseling when clients request Christian-oriented support.
Prospective clients can expect collaborative, practical work geared toward lasting improvements in daily functioning and relationships.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Emily draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. CBT is goal-oriented and often useful for stress, anger, and anxiety-related concerns.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which emphasizes short-term, strength-based strategies to build on what already works for a person and to set concrete steps toward desired changes. This approach can be helpful for parenting challenges, blended family issues, and managing life transitions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach often unfolds collaboratively. Emily partners with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then adjusts techniques over time to better fit the client’s progress and priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions when life is unpredictable, to check in between meetings, and to choose the mode of communication that feels most accessible for each client.
