About Tecky

Rev. Tecky Rusk is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with 23 years of experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and sleep problems. Her style is compassionate and practical, focused on small steps that fit day-to-day life.

She helps people work through mood disorders, bipolar challenges, panic, and trauma and abuse. Tecky also supports those coping with addiction, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and parenting stress. Sleep and rest concerns are part of her practice when they relate to these broader struggles.

Her work centers on clear communication and building tools that people can use outside sessions. She often helps with relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and transitions like loss or major life change. Attachment, abandonment, and adoption-related issues are also areas she addresses with clients.

Tecky uses several evidence-based approaches to guide sessions, choosing methods to fit each person’s needs and pace. She emphasizes meaning, forgiveness, and values as part of long-term change. Sessions aim to strengthen coping skills, improve day-to-day functioning, and restore healthier sleep and routine where relevant.

Her background includes many years supporting people across the lifespan, from young clients to older adults. Tecky brings steady presence and practical strategies to help people move toward the life they want.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when sleep and daily routines need adjustment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding. It is often used for sleep difficulties, mood disorders, anxiety, and building coping skills.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses and improving how people relate to important others. It can help with relationship strain and attachment patterns that affect daily life and rest.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels workable, then suggest one or more approaches to try. This decision is collaborative and may change as needs shift.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people practice new skills in the settings where they live and sleep, helping translate session ideas into everyday routines.
