About Tecky
Rev. Tecky Rusk is an Ohio LPCC with 23 years of practice helping people through common and complex life challenges. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, mood swings, relationship difficulties, grief, and mood disorders. Her work covers a broad age range from children and preteens to adolescents, young adults, and aging adults.
She uses practical methods to address communication problems and social anxiety. She helps people manage panic, trauma, and the stress of life transitions such as divorce and loss. She also supports those dealing with chronic pain, caregiver strain, postpartum concerns, and workplace difficulties.
Rev. Rusk pays attention to attachment patterns and family dynamics. She helps people facing abandonment concerns, blended family questions, and adoption or foster care issues. She also works with people concerned about body image, commitment issues, and co-dependency.
Her clinical approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, along with deeper work when trauma or attachment arise.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process that includes addressing values, meaning, and forgiveness when relevant. People can expect a focus on skills they can practice between sessions, along with time to talk through feelings and relationship patterns as they come up.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rev. Rusk frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that feed problems. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts, testing them, and practicing new responses to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage actions that align with those values even when strong emotions are present. Client-Centered Therapy provides a listening stance that prioritizes the person’s perspective and pace of change.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rev. Rusk will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods that fit the person’s needs. That means skills-based CBT work when concrete coping is needed and more exploratory therapies if trauma or attachment themes require deeper attention.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a workday or family routine.
