About Rasheda

Rasheda Long is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, mood changes, and questions about self-worth. Her approach is warm and direct, with practical steps people can use between sessions.

Rasheda draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand their feelings and how those feelings affect relationships and intimacy.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to find concrete ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Her background includes work in school settings and community mental health, supporting people with ADHD, depression, bipolar spectrum concerns, grief, parenting strain, and career stress.

She has five years of experience and combines kindness with clear guidance when needed. Sessions aim to build on a person’s strengths and practical coping skills. Rasheda listens for what matters most, then offers tools and gentle challenges to try between visits.

She names emotions, explores patterns, and helps set manageable goals. People who choose her can expect straightforward communication and an emphasis on usable strategies. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person is the expert on their life and the clinician offers support, ideas, and encouragement.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on understanding and naming emotions and how they shape important relationships. Online EFT sessions help people notice patterns in feeling and response, which can improve how they express needs and seek closeness. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead; online sessions using this approach give space for someone to set the pace and topics they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses clear steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often with short exercises and homework that are easy to assign and review during remote appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That might mean starting with emotion-focused exploration, adding CBT tools for day-to-day coping, or shifting the balance as progress is made.

Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make sessions more flexible. Video helps preserve face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people check in between meetings and share brief updates or reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care across distances.
