About Tiffany

Tiffany Ruff is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on issues such as addiction, anxiety, stress, career questions, and life purpose. Tiffany also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, LGBTQ concerns, family conflict, and self-esteem struggles.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping skills, and next steps. She uses talking and structured techniques rather than abstract theory. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what might help next.

Tiffany draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's lead. She adds elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to build calm and present-moment awareness when that fits the client's goals.

She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused practices when needed. That means identifying small, achievable changes and addressing the impact of painful events with care. These tools are applied in simple, step-by-step ways so progress can be noticed between sessions.

Tiffany has worked with at-risk youth and people returning to the community after incarceration, bringing that experience into sessions with adults who feel stuck after big life changes. People who are unsure about next steps in work or life often come to talk about concrete choices and how to move forward.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Tiffany uses client-centered therapy to begin by listening closely to what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on the client’s priorities and builds from their strengths. It helps when someone needs to clarify values or decide what matters next.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT gives concrete tools for anxiety, stress, and career-related worries. Mindfulness techniques are offered to help reduce reactivity and support clearer decision making in the moment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tiffany will talk through your goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. That plan can be adjusted as you learn what works and what feels useful during sessions.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices so they work in everyday life.
