How Rashad’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and guides the conversation toward the issues they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and habits. It breaks problems into small parts and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be useful for anxiety and depression.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change, especially around drug and alcohol use. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and plan next steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked in the past, then try methods that fit the person’s needs. Sessions can shift over time as goals change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging is useful for short updates or reflection between sessions. These formats make therapy more flexible so it can fit into work, family, or recovery routines.
