About Tecky

Rev. Tecky Rusk is an Ohio LPCC with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, and relationship struggles, and she lists anger among her areas of focus. Tecky helps with grief, sleep problems, parenting strains, addiction issues, and the day-to-day strains of work and life changes.

She supports people across the lifespan, from children and preteens to adolescents, young adults, and older adults. Her work includes helping with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family and adoption issues, and caregiver stress. She also addresses chronic pain, illness, and other long-term health-related challenges.

Her approach uses practical, evidence-based methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions focus on straightforward skills, clearer communication, and managing strong feelings so daily life becomes more manageable.

Tecky often works on improving how people relate to others and themselves. That can mean learning new ways to speak up, reducing reactivity, or finding routines that improve sleep and mood. She also helps people sort through meaning, forgiveness, and personal values when major losses or transitions happen.

Her style is respectful and direct. She helps clients identify small changes that make a difference. To begin, users follow the site's matching flow to schedule an initial session and see which session options are currently offered.

How sessions work

How Tecky’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take committed steps toward what matters. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions like anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thinking and behavior and developing practical skills to change them, which can help with mood, sleep, and workplace stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in how people respond emotionally and aims to shift responses to improve relationships and reduce reactive anger.

Finding which approach fits is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining ACT, CBT, or EFT tools over time so sessions address both immediate coping and longer-term change.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time that would otherwise be needed. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises, homework, and EMDR techniques for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
