About Rue

Rue "Lashelle" Tennyson brings an integrative, client-focused approach to therapy rooted in 18 years of professional experience.

Background and approach

As an LPC licensed in Oklahoma (OK LPC LPC05122), she blends evidence-based methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship challenges while supporting growth in self-esteem, motivation, and life transitions. Lashelle emphasizes creating a welcoming space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

She draws on Internal Family Systems alongside therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, and cognitive-behavioral strategies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Her practice also addresses grief, sleep and parenting concerns, anger and impulse control, mood disorders, OCD-related symptoms, and compassion fatigue.

Clients can expect collaborative goal-setting and practical tools aimed at increasing resilience and improving daily functioning. Lashelle frames the first step toward change as an act of courage and positions herself as a steady support through the process of finding healthier patterns, increased self-compassion, and clearer direction in life.

Integrative Approaches and Online Care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) invites clients to get curious about inner parts and how they influence feelings and behavior; it can be helpful for people navigating trauma, shame, or internal conflict by promoting self-led healing and greater internal harmony. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values, practicing acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and committing to actions that align with what matters most, which can aid with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships and emotional responses, offering a pathway to improved connection and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify which methods best fit their goals, preferences, and personal history, and may combine techniques over time to address changing needs.

Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care and allowing for a mix of real-time and text-based interactions.
