About Ruby Coopersmith
Ruby Coopersmith is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida who has provided individual and couples counseling for over 10 years. She earned a master’s degree in Counseling Education from the University of Central Florida, a CACREP-accredited program (accredited for meeting established training standards), and holds a certificate in Marriage and Family Counseling.
Her work draws on experience supporting people who are navigating anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship concerns. She also helps clients facing trauma, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Ruby values practical, skill-building work and often focuses on coping strategies, assertive communication, boundary setting, identifying core beliefs, and relationship counseling that supports healthier patterns and stronger connection.
Ruby’s foundation is person-centered therapy, with attention to the ways society, culture, and family experiences can shape a person’s story. Depending on what best fits the client, she may also incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy. She approaches counseling with the belief that no two people are the same and prioritizes building rapport and trust as an essential part of the process.
Ruby aims to offer a calm, stable, respectful, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, clarify what they want from life, and practice showing up as their authentic selves. She recognizes that reaching out can be challenging, especially during difficult seasons, and views taking that first step as meaningful self-care.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Ruby Coopersmith draws from approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and experiences at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when working through stress, grief, relationship strain, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and experiment with new ways of responding. It is often used when someone wants structured tools for concerns like anxiety, depression, coping with change, or low self-esteem.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths, goals, and small, realistic steps. This approach can be a good fit for clients who want to build momentum, improve communication, or create workable plans for day-to-day challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ruby collaborates with each client to understand what they want to work on and what style of support feels most useful, then adjusts the focus over time based on progress and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility without sacrificing connection. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or choose live chat and text-based messaging for added convenience and accessibility when schedules are busy or routines change.
