Rev. Tecky Rusk, LPCC

Rev. Tecky Rusk is an Ohio LPCC with 23 years of clinical experience. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, grief, parenting strain, sleep trouble, anger, self-esteem concerns, and life changes. She also addresses relationship struggles and trauma and abuse.

Rusk meets individuals across the lifespan and often supports those facing caregiving burdens, chronic illness, or women’s health concerns such as postpartum challenges. She works with people who are navigating adoption and foster care issues, blended family complexities, attachment and abandonment concerns, and communication problems at home or work.

Her style blends practical techniques with person-centered listening. Sessions often include exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and meaningful action. She also uses emotionally focused ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate.

Rusk emphasizes clear communication and problem-solving. Typical sessions look at patterns that keep a person stuck and then try doable changes that fit daily life. She can help with parenting stress, coping with a difficult parent or adult child, and repairing communication habits.

People who contact her usually start by describing what’s most stressful in their day-to-day life. From there she and the client set practical goals and steps to reduce distress and improve functioning. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
