About Rasheda

Rasheda Long is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama who focuses on supporting people managing ADHD, mood challenges, and everyday stressors.

Background and approach

She centers her work on helping clients identify and build on personal strengths, combining empathy with practical guidance to address issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and intimacy-related concerns. Her approach is informed by five years of clinical practice and a range of therapeutic methods.

Rasheda draws on client-centered principles to respect each person’s expertise about their own life, while using cognitive-behavioral and emotionally-focused techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and strengthen relationships. She also incorporates motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when useful to clarify values, increase motivation, and reframe personal stories.

Rasheda’s style blends compassion with direct, skills-oriented work aimed at practical change. She offers flexible session formats and works with adults on career and life transitions, parenting and family dynamics, compassion fatigue, and related concerns.

Prospective clients who want a collaborative therapist who emphasizes strengths and clear tools may find her approach a good match.

Approaches that guide online care

Rasheda uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s experience and goals at the center of each session, creating space for clients to lead and for the therapist to support through validation and reflective listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also a central tool she uses to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is employed when relationship patterns or attachment concerns are present, helping clients recognize emotional responses and build stronger connections.

Deciding which approach to use is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to assess needs, trial techniques, and adjust methods over time so the work aligns with personal goals, values, and preferences. This flexibility helps ensure the plan evolves if new priorities or challenges emerge.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit varied schedules. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or work. Licensed professionals can adapt the selected therapeutic methods to each format so clients can pursue meaningful progress in a way that fits their life.
