About Ramon

Ramon Ruiz IV is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 10 years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, trauma and sleep problems. He also works with concerns like anger, bipolar mood issues, coping with life changes, and codependency.

Ramon uses straightforward conversation to find what matters to each person. Sessions focus on concrete skills and steps people can use between meetings. He combines client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and behavior change.

People often come for help with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or prioritizing others at their expense. Ramon talks through boundary-setting, communication problems, and patterns that keep someone stuck. He also addresses substance use and compulsive behaviors alongside mood and trauma symptoms.

In sessions he blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build small, achievable goals. Work tends to be practical - identifying one or two changes to try, reviewing how they went, and adjusting the plan. Ramon explains strategies in plain language and checks how they fit into daily life.

Ramon practices in Texas as an LCSW. Sessions are conducted in English. He does not accept international clients. To begin, users follow the site flow to choose online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Ramon uses talk therapy and skills online

Ramon commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT teaches concrete skills for handling intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better interpersonal interactions.

He also uses client-centered conversation to clarify what matters most to the person and motivational interviewing to identify ambivalence and strengthen commitment to change. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. Ramon will discuss goals and preferences and adjust the approach as therapy unfolds.

This profile does not specify which session formats Ramon offers, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a lunch break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice strategies in real-life settings and then talk about what happened in the next session.
