About Ray
Ray Woods is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical, relationship-centered work. He brings 16 years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward approach to sessions. He aims to help people reduce stress, manage anxiety, and rebuild confidence in their daily life.
He uses the Gottman Method alongside attachment-based ideas to help people understand how they relate to others. He also draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to create clear, step-by-step plans.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused so people leave with tools they can try between appointments. Ray has worked with concerns that include trauma and abuse, depression, and self-esteem struggles. He also supports people dealing with relationship difficulties, communication problems, and the stress that comes from caregiving or blended family situations.
He is familiar with issues related to substance use, domestic violence, and obsessive behaviors. In therapy he listens first, then helps set small, practical goals. He helps people notice patterns, practice new ways of responding, and build stronger connections where possible.
He explains techniques plainly and checks in about what is and is not helping. Ray is licensed in Oklahoma as an LCMFT and an LMFT and offers sessions in English. He welcomes people from other states and countries to work with him through online formats.
Starting is done through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling that fits each person’s needs.

Online support
Using relationship-focused methods in online care
Ray integrates the Gottman Method to help people notice patterns in how they argue and reconnect, offering concrete exercises for improving communication and trust. He also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early connections shape present reactions and to develop more supported ways of relating. These approaches are aimed at relationship strains, managing conflict, and improving emotional bonds.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they choose techniques and pace that match the client’s situation and reassess as progress is made.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and technique practice, phone sessions fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, chat can be a quick way to process between appointments, and text messaging supports brief updates and reminders. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or travel while working on stress, anxiety, and relationship issues.
