About Terry
LISW-CP Terry "TJ" Rumler is a clinical social worker licensed in South Carolina with nine years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. Terry uses client-centered methods and motivational approaches alongside practical therapies to help people make changes.
Terry is a military combat veteran and currently works full time as a social worker in a community non-profit. He draws on that mix of clinical and lived experience when he talks with people about issues like veteran and armed forces concerns, workplace problems, and money or financial stress. He also supports people facing codependency, substance use challenges, and overlapping health or life problems.
In sessions he favors clear, action-oriented work. That can mean identifying small, manageable steps, testing new ways of thinking, or trying mindfulness exercises to manage strong feelings. He also uses motivational interviewing to clarify what matters to a person and to build on existing strengths.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify their own goals. Online sessions using this approach often center on open conversation and prioritizing what the person wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy introduces short attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment noticing, which can help with stress and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Terry will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, preferences, and what’s useful in early sessions. That plan can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.
The profile does not list specific session modalities here, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or other commitments. They also allow for shorter check-ins, the option to avoid video when needed, and the ability to continue care when travel or relocation makes in-person meetings difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to work in an online format so learning continues between meetings.
