More about Ruthie
- 4 years' experience

- LICSW
My name is Ruthie Fox. I am an independently licensed psychotherapist. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, adults, couples and families in a therapeutic capacity. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career/school challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have helped many families coping with behavioral issues with their children as well as marital conflict caused by any number of things.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and solutions focused modalities. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
