About Ruby
Dr. Ruby Akhigbe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 27 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, anger, depression, trauma and abuse. She also focuses on problems such as attachment difficulties, codependency, control issues, and challenges that come with aging and blended families.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She draws from therapies like cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior ideas, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, and client-centered listening. In sessions she emphasizes learning to respond rather than react, improving communication, and breaking negative cycles that keep problems repeating.
Dr. Akhigbe describes listening actively and helping clients build skills for everyday life. She often works on reducing rumination, managing role overload, and addressing mood or trauma-related symptoms. She also helps people with relationship patterns tied to abandonment, family of origin issues, or dissociation.
She holds a doctorate, a master’s degree, and a bachelor’s degree, and she combines different methods to match each person’s needs. Therapy tends to include practical exercises, conversation about patterns, and step-by-step tools to handle stress and difficult emotions.
People who choose her work with someone who prioritizes clear communication and concrete skills. The aim is steady, manageable change you can use at home, work, and in relationships.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior. It often focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward what matters, which can help with anxiety, rumination, and role overload.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and changing them through practical exercises. It is often used for anxiety, depression, negative rumination, and improving communication skills.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and emotional responses. This approach can be useful for people dealing with abandonment fears, codependency, or family of origin issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation usually includes discussing which exercises or skills feel manageable and relevant to daily life.
The biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists often adapt homework, skill practice, and communication exercises so they work in the client’s everyday routines.
