About Tecky
Rev. Tecky Rusk, LPCC, offers a compassionate, practical approach to therapy. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, mood swings, grief, and relationship difficulties. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping clients find manageable steps forward.
She has 23 years of experience as a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio. That background includes supporting people facing chronic pain, caregiver stress, and women’s health concerns such as postpartum challenges. She also works with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and the practical complexities that can come up with adoption and foster care situations.
Her sessions emphasize clear communication and steady support. She uses a mix of evidence-based methods to help people reduce intense symptoms, rebuild routines, and strengthen coping skills. Work often focuses on improving communication, easing social anxiety, and managing panic or traumatic reactions.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental presence and help sorting values, meaning, and next steps. The goal is to build resilience and move toward the life a person wants, at a pace that feels doable.
Tecky aims to walk alongside people during transitions such as divorce, loss, midlife change, or shifts in caregiving roles. She combines practical tools with attention to emotional and spiritual concerns when those are important to the client.
Therapeutic methods and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and committing to meaningful actions to reduce suffering. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding and naming emotions so someone can respond to painful feelings more effectively and improve connection with themselves and others.Finding the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Feedback and adjustments are part of the process so the work stays practical and relevant.
Confirm current online session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They also let people use quieter surroundings, choose audio-only when that works better, or schedule sessions during a work break - all ways to make regular care more manageable.
