About Rutanya
Rutanya Simon is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with nine years of experience. She practices from Texas and works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes.
She spent three years working within the court system, helping people navigate recovery and the practical shifts that follow legal involvement. For the past five years she has focused on supporting family-related concerns and improving overall quality of life amid difficult circumstances.
Her style is conversational and solution-focused. Sessions look at behaviors that get in the way of goals and identify more effective choices. She helps clients trial new, prosocial activities that can replace counterproductive habits.
Rutanya uses approaches drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques. She treats the client as the expert on their life while offering guidance to keep attention on agreed goals.
People who prefer practical steps, clear behavioral goals, and a straightforward conversation about what to try next may find her approach a good fit. She accepts clients from Texas and also works with international clients; sessions are conducted in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rutanya uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, which helps clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses mindfulness practices to build awareness of urges and emotions, and motivational interviewing to help people identify and commit to change. These approaches can help with anger, stress, addiction, and relationship concerns by breaking down steps into manageable actions and shifting daily routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can be adjusted as sessions progress to match what is working.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Practically, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use audio-only if video is difficult, or choose a time that avoids commuting and helps keep therapy consistent.
