More about Ruth
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Alabama who has spent 12 years working with individuals with a variety of mental illness diagnoses including psychotic disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family issues, and co-occurring conditions. I received my Master's Degree from Troy University in 2011 and have been working at the same company full-time since then. I have been married for 27 years, and we have 3 boys (24, 21, and 9). I like for our interactions to be conversational and will use reality therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and mindfulness. In this space, you are free to be who you are and talk about what is important to you. There will be no judgment, and I urge you to be real and talk about whatever you want. You are taking the first steps to a better life, and I am glad to be here for it.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ruth has been a wonderful therapist. I am truly blessed to work with her.
Thank you Ruth for being so dedicated to helping me learn grow and understand my challenges.
Ruth is by far the best therapist I’ve ever been too. She’s always there to help me when I’m feeling lost and provides me with good ways to manage and handle my stress and emotions in difficult times. I’m so thankful I found her on here!!
Ruth is very understanding and she is an amazing therapist! I would recommend her to anyone.
Ruth is wonderful to work with. She is insightful and committed. I’m so glad I choose BetterHelp.
Ruth does an amazing job meeting people where they are! I've only had one session so far, and I already feel very comfortable with her. She's very warm, and inviting!
Ruth is easy to work with especially when scheduling different times.
Ruth is amazing! She listens and is never judgmental. She’s so easy to talk to and she checks in with you during the week.
Ruth is AMAZING!
I have really enjoyed my therapy experience with Ruth. It’s hard searching for the right therapist and she is a great fit for me. I’ve enjoyed her book recommendations and the therapy exercises she gives me to do. I am looking forward to more sessions.
Feel extremely comfortable with Ruth. One session but I feel like she’s a perfect fit!
I’ve only had a few sessions with Ruth but she has done everything she can to guide me and help me with my struggles. I would recommend anyone to come to her
She is very friendly and professional! She is down to earth and listens to what I have to say! Very good advice
Ruth is absolutely amazing, she genuinely listens to what I have to say and gives me very good feedback. I am very happy that I have found her.
Ruth makes me feel so comfortable. She listens to me and supports how I feel. She has helped me come along way. I love her!
I am going through a major life transition and Ruth has been there to listen, support, challenge and guide me. I have a long way to go, but equipped with a map to help get me there this time.
Ruth asks questions to get me to reflect on a deeper level. She always open ended questions that give me room to express myself. On the contrary she hardly uses closed ended (yes or no) questions, unless it's trying to lead me toward a new direction of thought. Thank you Ruth for being good at your craft / skill.
She was attentive and made me feel comfortable. She was responsive and respectful.
Miss Ruth is totally aligned with my issues and has greatly helped me
It's only been a couple weeks, but it just feels good to have someone on my side. Ruth has listened and pinpointed some things I hadn't even thought of, which has helped me feel better about what I am going through. We seem to have clicked and I really appreciate that.
This is my first time in therapy and I’m so thankful I was able to be matched with someone who has been a lifesaver on my first try. She listens, she understands, she talks back with you, she doesn’t make it seem like you are just talking just to talk but most importantly she doesn’t judge. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going through anxiety or depression and I promise you will come out better in the end.
Great experience so far
I absolutely love this lady, we started out at a low place in my life and she’s watched and help me grow and support me through it. She’s very encouraging and supportive. She’s funny and she makes going to therapy enjoyable
Ruth is always there when I need her for any type of issue I may be having, and is such a calming person to receive advice and knowledge from.
Ruth is amazing she always listens and she doesn’t sugar coat it if you don’t want it to be sugar coated! She always gets my worksheets and such to me in a very timely manner! Highly suggest her!
Very compassionate and intuitive therapist
Best therapist I’ve ever had!! I’m comfortable sharing the past and problems without feeling like I’m being judged
Ruth is awesome!! Super easy to talk to and not judgmental.
