About Ruby

Ruby Coopersmith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, grief, depression, ADHD, and related concerns.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she draws on a person-centered foundation while integrating practical techniques to support coping, communication, and emotional regulation. Her work emphasizes collaboration and skill-building, teaching life and coping strategies such as assertive communication, boundary setting, and identifying core beliefs.

Ruby has a history of addressing trauma, low self-esteem, loss, and major life transitions, and she also supports clients facing intimacy, eating or sleeping issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, blended family and fatherhood issues, substance addiction, and body image.

Ruby values establishing rapport and trust, offering a calm, respectful therapeutic atmosphere that encourages authenticity and personal growth. She adapts methods like cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques when those approaches fit a client’s goals, and she prioritizes tailoring care to each person’s unique experience and needs.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Ruby often integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding each person without judgment, focusing on the therapeutic relationship and helping clients explore their values and identity. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful, tailoring the blend of approaches to each person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people engage. These formats can make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow ongoing access to therapeutic support through a range of communication styles.
