About Tecky
Rev. Tecky Rusk is an Ohio LPCC with 23 years of clinical experience who works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. She helps young adults and other age groups manage mood swings, panic, social anxiety, and communication problems. Sessions focus on practical skills and talking through the problems that come up in everyday life.
Rusk uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and EMDR. She often addresses issues linked to family background such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment challenges, and blended family concerns. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and women's health issues including postpartum challenges.
Her work commonly involves looking at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning. She helps people try new ways of responding and practices skills that reduce distress. Conversations can include processing past trauma, improving how someone communicates, or planning next steps during major life changes.
Rusk has long experience with a broad range of clinical concerns like bipolar disorder, addictions, ADHD, and grief. She integrates several evidence-informed methods rather than relying on a single technique. That mix allows her to respond to what each person brings in the moment.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when feeling stuck, uncertain about direction, or overwhelmed by worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and practicing alternative responses through exercises and planning. EMDR is a trauma-focused approach that involves guided processing of disturbing memories to reduce their emotional charge and can help with trauma and some forms of intense grief.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and decide with the client which methods fit current goals and preferences. That means sessions can include skill practice, conversation, or trauma processing depending on what comes up.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and avoid travel time. It also lets people try different ways of working and see which approach feels most helpful in everyday life.
