About Tecky

Rev. Tecky Rusk is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 23 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and mood disorders. She works with individuals facing parenting strain, sleeping problems, addiction concerns, ADHD, and the effects of family dynamics. She practices in English and sees clients in Ohio.

Rusk uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She helps people identify patterns that started in childhood and still affect current relationships and behavior. Sessions often focus on practical skills for managing anxiety, mood swings, cravings, and sleep disruptions.

Rev. Rusk also addresses attachment questions, abandonment concerns, and adjustments tied to adoption or blended family situations. She supports people coping with caregiving stress, chronic illness, and life changes such as divorce or job shifts. Conversations can include setting boundaries, improving communication, and handling conflict without blame.

Her work draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy among others. These approaches are used to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and clarify personal values.

In practical terms, sessions are aimed at small, achievable steps. Clients can expect a mix of talking, guided exercises, and simple tools to practice between meetings. The emphasis is on making changes that fit everyday life rather than on labels or diagnoses.

Using ACT, CBT and EFT in remote sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change mood and anxiety patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and communication and offers ways to repair connection and reduce reactivity.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining techniques or shifting emphasis over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-life settings and then bring what happens back into the session for discussion.
