About Rutanya

Rutanya Simon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of clinical experience. She practices in Texas and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and relationship and family struggles.

She spent three years working inside the court system, helping people manage recovery and major life changes. For the past five years she has focused on family-related concerns and improving everyday functioning despite difficult circumstances. That background means she often brings practical strategies learned in systems work into individual sessions.

Her style is conversational and solution-focused. She looks at behaviors that get in the way of goals and helps people build pro-social habits. Sessions include talking through immediate problems and trying small changes between meetings to see what helps.

Rutanya uses a mix of approaches including client-centered care, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She encourages people to describe what matters most and treats them as the expert on their own life while offering guidance and focus.

People come to her for help with parenting stress, family conflict, communication problems, addiction recovery, managing mood shifts, and rebuilding after separation or loss. She works with practical life issues like career stress, anger, and control challenges, and addresses deeper themes such as abandonment, attachment wounds, guilt, and shame.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the client says matters. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist reflect concerns, priorities, and strengths and help clients clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online session CBT can include identifying patterns, setting small experiments, and reviewing what did or did not work between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and can help with anxiety, stress, and mood regulation; practices can be introduced and reviewed during remote meetings.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Rutanya will collaborate with each person to choose methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to adjust techniques over time if something is not helpful so the plan fits practical life demands.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it easier to keep appointments around work or caregiving. Discuss scheduling needs and session length during the matching process to find arrangements that work with everyday life.
