Ruth Racz, LPC

Ruth Racz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Alabama with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and anger. Ruth uses conversational sessions to help people talk through the things that matter to them and make practical changes in daily life.

She earned a master’s degree from Troy University in 2011 and has worked full time in community mental health since then. That background means she has experience with a wide range of mental health concerns, including co-occurring conditions and psychotic disorders, in addition to mood and anxiety concerns.

Ruth favors straightforward techniques she can explain plainly in session. She commonly draws on client-centered methods to keep the focus on the person’s priorities. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and DBT-informed skills for managing strong emotions.

Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing also appear in her work when people want help with focus, coping, or making lasting changes. Sessions tend to be conversational rather than scripted, with an emphasis on talking through current problems and testing small changes between meetings.

Clients can expect a direct, nonjudgmental approach that emphasizes practical steps. Ruth invites people to be honest about what they’re struggling with and to work together on manageable ways to reduce stress and handle anger or relationship conflict.
