About Rue
Rue "Lashelle" Tennyson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 18 years of experience. She uses an approachable style to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes. Rue focuses on building trust so clients can speak honestly about what’s hard for them.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies and client-centered listening to help people notice what matters and move toward it.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral tools are offered when thinking patterns and habits are getting in the way of daily life. Sessions are meant to be practical. Rue helps clients develop clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and coping skills they can use outside the session.
She pays attention to issues like grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, and compassion fatigue as they come up in a person’s life. Her work also addresses mood disorders, obsessive and compulsive thoughts, post-traumatic stress, and struggles with self-worth. She aims to make therapy feel understandable and usable, not overwhelming or jargon-filled.
People who choose Rue can expect a steady, respectful partner who listens first and then offers tools matched to their goals. Starting therapy is framed as a step toward more manageable days and fuller relationships.

Online support
Using attachment and action-focused approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings, trust, and reactions. It helps people understand patterns that affect intimacy and connection in everyday life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches simple skills to notice thoughts and make choices aligned with personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Client-Centered Therapy is based on listening with empathy and respect so a person feels heard and can lead the pace of change.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rue will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That means listening first, trying practical tools together, and adjusting strategies if something isn’t helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay engaged. Video calls let therapists see body language and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or tracking progress between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue work consistently over time.
