About Tecky
Rev. Tecky Rusk, LPCC, offers thoughtful, practical therapy grounded in compassion. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and mood swings. She also supports clients dealing with grief, relationship struggles, addictions, and challenges tied to parenting or work. Her style is steady and straightforward, suited for someone who wants clear next steps and a calm presence.
With 23 years of experience in Ohio, she brings long-term clinical experience to everyday problems. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change in daily life. She works with people across the lifespan, including children, preteens, adolescents, young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults.
Her work addresses trauma and abuse, panic and social anxiety, and the strain of caregiving or chronic illness. She also helps people manage bipolar disorder, sleeping problems, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and body image. Codependency and attachment concerns are part of her practice when they arise in sessions.
Therapeutic methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, emotionally-focused work, and EMDR when appropriate. These approaches are used to help people process painful memories, shift unhelpful thinking, and build more flexible behavior patterns.
She emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s values and beliefs. Conversations explore meaning, forgiveness, and practical changes that fit everyday life. To begin, visitors can use the site’s Start Therapy button and follow the matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where values and committed action matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and helps people try small experiments to change unhelpful habits; it’s often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and understanding strong emotions and how they affect relationships and self-regulation; it can help with attachment concerns and intense emotional reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try strategies together. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can change over time based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people join from different locations within the same state and can make scheduling around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities simpler. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and EFT techniques to work well in remote sessions, focusing on exercises and homework that fit everyday routines.
