How Narrative and ACT can shape online therapy
Rev. Tecky Rusk uses Narrative Therapy to help people rethink the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps name dominant storylines and make room for new possibilities when past patterns feel limiting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also central to her work and focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters most.She balances those approaches with Client-Centered care, which means she aims to listen openly and respond to each person's experience. Finding the right mix is a joint process - the therapist and client decide together which methods fit the client's goals, needs, and day-to-day life.
If you are considering online therapy, check the session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes it easier to attend regular sessions, and supports steady progress without long commutes. Online meetings can also let someone choose a quieter time, take a shorter check-in on a break, or avoid needing to be on camera if that feels better. Talk with the therapist during the intake match about what will work best for you and how sessions can be arranged to fit your routine.
