About Tecky
Rev. Tecky Rusk is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 23 years of experience. She offers calm, practical help for people facing depression, anxiety, stress, mood swings, and grief.
Her style is compassionate and straightforward, focused on steady support during hard times. She uses a mix of evidence-based methods tailored to each person. That can mean practical skills for managing anxiety, talking through relationship and communication problems, or paced work on traumatic memories.
How Tecky works
She often helps people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic pain and health concerns, and life transitions like divorce or midlife change. Her work includes attention to attachment patterns, abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and the stresses that come with blended family situations. She also supports people coping with parenting challenges, sleep problems, addictions, bipolar mood issues, and career-related stress.
Sessions focus on listening first, then offering tools that fit daily life. Techniques may include mindfulness, values-based choices, and thought rewiring exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns. She aims to help people build resilience while respecting their beliefs and priorities.
Clients can expect a collaborative approach that moves at a comfortable pace. The goal is clearer communication, better coping skills, and steady progress toward goals the person sets for themselves.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small actions toward those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and getting unstuck when life changes feel overwhelming. Client-Centered Therapy centers on open listening and acceptance so people can find their own solutions and build confidence. This approach suits those who want a respectful space to talk and reflect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep issues.Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps keep therapy relevant and useful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet from a familiar place. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, Client-Centered Therapy, and CBT for virtual sessions so you still learn practical tools and practice skills between meetings.
