About Ruby

Ruby Gordon is a licensed therapist with 15 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, and the many ways life transitions can feel overwhelming.

Background and approach

She supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and body image concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, and career or parenting stress. Her practice also addresses identity-related concerns including LGBT and gender dysphoria, as well as complex relational patterns such as attachment issues, codependency, and communication or commitment problems.

Gordon uses a collaborative, client-centered stance grounded in evidence-based methods to meet clients where they are and build practical coping skills. She blends cognitive behavioral strategies with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help clients shift unhelpful patterns, improve emotional regulation, and set achievable goals.

With training and licensure as an LPC and LCMHC, she brings an affirming, nonjudgmental approach to working with a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and nontraditional sexual cultures like BDSM and kink.

Based in Georgia, Ruby emphasizes individualized care that integrates solution-focused techniques when clients want targeted, action-oriented work alongside deeper exploration of family of origin issues, emptiness, guilt, and shame.

Approaches for Online Growth and Skill Building



Ruby commonly pairs cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while building present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. CBT offers practical tools for addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and sleep or eating issues, while mindfulness supports stress reduction and improved attention. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their values and strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially useful for goals around career transitions, caregiver stress, or habit shifts.

Finding the right combination of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with clients to consider their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past, adjusting techniques over time so treatment feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, to continue work during life transitions, and to practice skills between appointments with ongoing support from a licensed professional.
