About Ruskee

She guides clients through issues like attachment, body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and building self-love. Ruskee presents a calm and direct style that aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, learning manageable skills, and practicing new ways of relating to thoughts and feelings.
How Ruskee works
Ruskee listens closely and offers concrete steps that people can try between meetings. Her background includes four years working as a clinical social worker in Georgia. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and the CSW credential.
That experience informs a straightforward approach to common life stressors. In sessions she helps people name what matters most and set short-term goals. Conversations move at the client’s pace while keeping an eye on practical change.
She encourages small experiments that build confidence over time. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental presence and clear guidance. Ruskee supports people who want to reduce anxiety, repair how they relate to others, or heal from past hurts.
The work aims to strengthen self-awareness and everyday coping skills.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Ruskee uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people understand patterns and try new behaviors. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, then practicing small changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach centers on relationships and attachment, helping people notice how past experiences shape current connections and try different ways of relating.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods, and adjust based on what works. Clients collaborate on which techniques feel most useful and the plan can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see and hear the therapist for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick skill practice, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
