Background and approach
She has helped adults with anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and relationship and work stress. Her background includes work with aging concerns and hospice and end-of-life counseling. Her approach centers on the person’s own strengths.
She uses client-centered conversations to learn what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioral methods help identify patterns of thinking and testing new behaviors. Mindfulness exercises are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps. Sessions tend to be practical - learning new skills, trying them out, and adjusting as needed. The aim is clearer decisions, better coping, and improved day-to-day functioning.
Dr. Rasheed earned a Doctor of Social Work in Advance Clinical Social Work and Supervision and holds a PhD in Educational Policy Studies. She lists credentials as LICSW and LCSW and practices from Georgia.
Conversations are conducted in English and the work is tailored to adult needs.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. It centers the conversation on what the client wants to change and uses their strengths as the basis for planning and next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions teach simple skills to test new thoughts and try different actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.
Mindfulness therapy offers exercises to build attention and reduce reactivity. Short breathing and awareness practices are used to improve focus and calm during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what feels most useful. This collaborative stance helps tailor strategies to each person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats make regular work easier to fit into life. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options support flexibility while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
