About Terry
Terry "TJ" Rumler is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and has nine years of practice. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and coaching. He speaks English and Spanish.
TJ describes his work as motivational and client-centered. He listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions tend to be practical and focused on what to try next, not on abstract theory. He uses straightforward conversations to help people notice patterns and try different responses.
In practice he often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques with client-centered listening and motivational interviewing. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, while also paying attention to what matters to each person. He includes mindfulness and solution-focused strategies when those fit the goals.
TJ brings nine years of experience and a background that includes military service and community non-profit work. He has worked with a wide range of people and says he will work without judgment. He notes that therapy choices are collaborative and concrete steps are part of the work.

How TJ blends practical approaches for online work
TJ commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioral experiments. CBT supports work on anxiety, mood, anger, and habit change through concrete skill practice.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and clarifying what matters to the person. That approach helps set priorities before selecting specific techniques. Mindfulness Therapy is included when useful to pause reactivity and build moment-to-moment awareness; it can support coping with stress and grief.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. TJ will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps. He frames therapy as a sequence of practical steps rather than a fixed protocol.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting care into a busy week and keeping sessions short when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online work easier to schedule around jobs and family obligations, and it can make checking in between busy days more feasible.
