Her approach aims to reduce daily strain and rebuild confidence one small change at a time.

Background and approach
She describes herself as compassionate, direct, and occasionally humorous when it lightens the load. Dr. Rasheed uses methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, client-centered therapy, and solution-focused work.
In practice that looks like identifying patterns that increase anxiety, trying short experiments to shift thinking, and building coping skills people can use at home. Sessions emphasize the client’s own strengths and practical problem solving. She holds a Doctor of Social Work in Advanced Clinical Social Work and Supervision and a PhD in Educational Policy Studies.
Her clinical foundation includes a Master of Social Work with a health and mental health focus. Those degrees inform a thoughtful, education-informed approach to care. People who reach out can expect focused, respectful conversations about goals and workable next steps.
Dr. Rasheed offers individual supportive therapy aimed at increasing clarity, reducing stress, and helping people feel more capable in daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Dr. Rasheed often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and is useful for stress, sleep problems, and mood concerns.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that calm the body and help with repetitive worry. Mindfulness can make it easier to step back from automatic reactions and choose a different response to stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and lifestyle. That might mean combining brief solution-focused steps with motivational interviewing to support change and build confidence over time.
Online sessions make these approaches more flexible. Video calls let the therapist and client use screen tools and see facial cues during teaching. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
