About Ramon

Ramon Ruiz IV is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 10 years of experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, relationship problems, trouble sleeping, anger, bipolar symptoms, and life changes. Ramon also lists focused concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation, and chronic illness or pain.

Ramon uses straightforward conversation to help people name their problems and try different ways to cope. He draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's priorities central. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to examine unhelpful thoughts and behavioral patterns.

His approach includes elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to change addictive behavior or build commitment to new habits. Sessions center on practical skills and short-term steps as well as understanding longer patterns.

Ramon aims to make each session focused and understandable. People can expect clear feedback, skill practice, and planning between sessions. He frames therapy as a collaborative effort to test strategies and refine what works.

Ramon practices in Texas and offers services in English. He notes that sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Ramon commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in his work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels and acts; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship problems, and mood instability.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ramon will discuss goals and preferences and then collaborate on which methods to try first. That collaborative process may include trying a skill, reviewing how it went, and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, and remove travel time from daily routines. Ramon frames sessions around practical skill-building and planning so online appointments focus on clear steps you can use between meetings.
