About Tecky
Rev. Tecky Rusk is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio with 23 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, grief, and relationship difficulties. Tecky supports clients across the lifespan, from children and preteens through older adults, and addresses everyday struggles like sleep problems and parenting strain.
She often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In session she helps clients name difficult emotions and recognize patterns that keep problems repeating. Work can include talking through attachment concerns, communication problems, and feelings tied to abandonment or adoption and foster care.
She has notable experience supporting people with chronic pain, caregiver stress, and women's health issues including postpartum challenges. Tecky also helps those coping with career strain, substance use concerns, ADHD, and anger management. Practical steps and skills are paired with conversations about values and meaning.
Therapy with her combines conversational, client-centered work with structured techniques when useful. She may use EMDR for trauma-related symptoms alongside mindfulness strategies. Sessions aim to help people manage symptoms, improve communication, and cope with life changes in concrete ways.

How EFT, ACT, and CBT inform online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and the patterns that form around them. It can help when recurring relationship or attachment feelings are hard to name and address. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills for change, useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values to guide action, which can help with stress, chronic health challenges, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can mix conversational, client-centered listening with structured exercises from EFT, CBT, ACT, or EMDR when appropriate.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or offering a choice about camera use. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like emotion-focused conversations, behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices, and some trauma processing to work remotely, helping people apply skills between sessions.
