About Ramon
Ramon Ruiz IV is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with 10 years of practice experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
He works in a straightforward, problem-focused way. Sessions look at thoughts, habits, and reactions. He helps people notice patterns that keep problems going and then try new responses.
Ramon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with client-centered methods and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and motivational interviewing. That means sessions mix practical exercises, skill practice, and direct conversation about what is getting in the way.
People often come for help with addictions or substance use, low motivation, shame, body image, and trouble communicating in relationships. He also supports those dealing with chronic pain, dissociation, attachment difficulties, and personality-related challenges.
In therapy he will set clear goals and suggest concrete, short-term steps to try between sessions. He discusses coping skills for stress, routines to improve sleep, and approaches to manage mood swings and impulsive behavior.
Ramon aims to keep sessions focused and action-oriented. He asks practical questions, reviews progress, and adjusts strategies based on what works. To begin, clients complete a brief matching form and schedule a first appointment.
How Ramon applies structured approaches in remote sessions
Ramon often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, tracking thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in the client’s concerns and Motivational Interviewing to help people find reasons to change and build momentum. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and clarifying goals while Motivational Interviewing helps when motivation feels low or change feels risky.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Ramon will talk with the client about goals, try specific strategies, and adjust the approach based on what helps. The process is collaborative and focused on concrete steps and skills.
