About

Emily Ruby is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Michigan who blends experience from school-based work with clinical practice. She holds an LPC and brings seven years of counseling experience alongside more than a decade of work with children and families in educational settings. That combination informs a practical, skills-focused approach to common concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting, grief, anger, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Her background working closely with teachers and school staff gives her a grounded perspective on classroom behavior, educator burnout, and the demands of balancing professional responsibilities with family life. She often works with parents and mothers navigating transitions, blended family challenges, and the particular stresses that can accompany raising young people or entering young adulthood.

Emily draws from Solution-Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor sessions to each person or family. She is open to integrating faith when clients request Christian-focused counseling. Her style centers on respect, empathy, and collaboration, with attention to building practical strategies and clearer communication to support lasting change.

Remote counseling options and therapeutic focus



Emily offers online sessions that combine practical skill building with collaborative exploration. She uses Solution-Focused techniques to help identify concrete goals and quick steps clients can try between sessions. That approach can appeal to people who want short-term, goal-oriented work aimed at specific concerns such as parenting strategies, stress management, or coping with life changes.

She also incorporates Person Centered principles to create a respectful, empathic space where a person or family can process feelings and make choices at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to help identify thought and behavior patterns related to anxiety, anger, or ADHD and to develop alternative coping strategies. Together these approaches allow for flexibility in pacing and focus, shaped by what the individual or family finds most useful.

Available communication methods include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort. Emily collaborates with people seeking support for parenting, blended family issues, educator stress, grief, and challenges common to young adults.
