About Rasheda

Rasheda Long is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship and family challenges, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes practical tools and strengths-based support to help clients move through depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and intimacy or parenting concerns. Rasheda draws on several therapeutic traditions to tailor care around each person’s goals and values.

With five years of professional experience, Rasheda brings a blend of empathy and direct guidance to sessions. She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, build coping skills, and improve emotional connection.

Her work also addresses issues like grief, guilt and shame, isolation, forgiveness, life purpose, and challenges faced by women and young adults. Rasheda practices in Alabama and holds the LICSW credential, and she welcomes those ready to explore change with collaborative, goal-oriented support.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Rasheda commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, and also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relational patterns are central. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it often includes practical exercises and skill-building. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore their values and strengths while the therapist follows the client’s lead. Emotionally-Focused Therapy targets patterns in emotional experience and interaction, which can be helpful for intimacy-related concerns and improving connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rasheda works with clients to clarify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, and she adapts methods over time based on progress and feedback. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and access from different locations through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on coping skills, mood management, and relationship patterns into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
