About Rue
Rue "Lashelle" Tennyson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. She emphasizes a thoughtful, values-centered approach that helps people face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and difficult life changes. Rue keeps sessions straightforward and focused on the concerns you bring.
She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can name their feelings and work through them. Conversations look at what matters to each person and what gets in the way of living that out.
Background and approach
Rue uses practical tools and gentle challenges to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Her work includes attention to relationships, intimacy-related struggles, grief, parenting stress, sleep problems, and career concerns. She also addresses issues like guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and obsessive thinking.
Those coping with mood disorders, bipolar symptoms, or post-traumatic stress may find a clear, steady ally in her approach. Rue draws on several therapy methods to match the needs of each person. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral techniques, Attachment-based ideas, and client-centered listening to build a plan together.
Existential themes - questions about meaning, purpose, and responsibility - often shape the conversation when they fit. Sessions are offered in English and available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Rue recognizes that starting therapy can feel hard, and she focuses on small, realistic steps toward change.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Existential work focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. In sessions this often means talking about values, life purpose, and the practical decisions that follow, which can help with feelings of aimlessness or midlife questions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people how to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior. It uses values-based exercises and small behavioral steps to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change.
Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape expectations and reactions in current relationships. Therapy uses that awareness to build clearer communication and more supported ways of relating, which can help with intimacy, trust, and repeated conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and the problems at hand. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what feels helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send notes, check progress between sessions, or have more frequent, brief support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
