About Rashida
Rashida Shockley is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and build steadier self-esteem. Rashida works with adults facing depression, major life changes, and burnout from caregiving or demanding roles.
She approaches sessions as a collaborative process. Rashida treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Conversations are practical and goal-oriented, aimed at coping strategies people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Rashida often helps people who feel isolated or face prejudice and discrimination. She also supports those navigating aging and geriatric concerns, social anxiety and phobia, and challenges common in young adulthood. Sessions address both immediate symptoms and the situations that reinforce them.
Therapy can include short skill-building exercises, problem-solving, and guided conversations about values and priorities. Rashida emphasizes small, manageable steps that fit into a busy life. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process straightforward and respectful.
Rashida is available for work with people in Florida. Sessions are held in English and offered in multiple online formats to match different needs and schedules.
Approaches that fit real life and online care
Rashida uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and real-world changes. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills and stress-management tools to reduce anxious feelings and handle daily pressures. This involves short exercises and simple practices people can try between sessions. Another helpful technique focuses on building self-esteem through identifying strengths and practicing new behaviors that reinforce a more positive sense of self, useful for social anxiety and low confidence.Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together. Rashida collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts the approach over time based on what helps most and what fits into someone’s life.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text-based messaging helps maintain progress between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school routines while keeping the focus on small, steady changes.
