About Rue
Rue "Lashelle" Tennyson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Lashelle helps clients talk through hard moments and build practical ways to cope.
She focuses on everyday changes like sleeping problems, parenting stress, grief, career shifts, and struggles with self-esteem. Her approach centers on listening first and then working together to find steps that feel doable.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. Clients can expect straightforward tools drawn from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused work, and skills for managing strong feelings. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control over daily life.
Lashelle is also experienced with trauma-related issues including post-traumatic stress, abuse recovery, and compassion fatigue. She pays attention to how past hurts affect current relationships and intimacy, and she helps people practice new ways of connecting and forgiving.
People seeking help for mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, social anxiety, and midlife transitions will find a practical orientation to treatment. The first sessions usually focus on goals, immediate coping strategies, and a plan for moving forward. Taking the first step can feel risky.
Lashelle aims to make that step easier by offering steady guidance and clear options for change.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small committed actions that move a person toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns affect current relationships and helps people build healthier ways of relating and connecting.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. This is a team process where feedback and preferences guide which techniques are used.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls let people use visual interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions remove the need for a camera when bandwidth or comfort is an issue. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. Together these options make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
