About Rasheda
Rasheda Long is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama who helps people manage anxiety and related concerns. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping clients build on small strengths they already have.
She draws on client-centered work to make sessions collaborative. That means conversations focus on the person's goals and experience.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can ease stress and mood problems. Rasheda has five years of experience in mental health, including time in school settings and community mental health. Her background includes supporting people with anxiety, depression, bipolar and ADHD, plus issues like anger, self-esteem, grief, and relationship stress.
She frames mood and behavior concerns in everyday language and practical steps. In sessions she emphasizes strengths, even tiny ones, and treats clients as the expert on their lives. She offers clear feedback and helps people set doable goals.
The work often includes trying short experiments between sessions and checking what helped. People who reach out should expect straightforward conversation, steady encouragement, and help building tools to cope. Rasheda aims to help clients move toward clearer routines, better emotion management, and more confidence in facing life changes.
How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and experience, with the therapist following the client's lead and helping clarify next steps. This approach helps when someone needs an empathetic listener who also helps set realistic goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches simple ways to notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns because it gives short, practical exercises to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through what feels most helpful and try methods that match a person's needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made collaboratively and adjusted as progress is observed.
Online therapy offers flexible formats that fit different days and schedules. Video calls allow fuller conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing, brief contact between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other obligations.
