About Rashad
Rashad Slate is an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Indiana with 13 years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, family problems, and depression. He speaks English and draws on years working in community mental health and outpatient addiction services.
Rashad began in direct care roles and moved into case management and family therapy work. He completed a bachelor’s in human services in 2006 and a Master of Education in Counseling with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy. Those roles shaped his focus on addiction and family concerns.
He has spent the last decade primarily in outpatient addictions treatment. That work involved one-on-one and family-facing interventions for drug and alcohol issues. He describes addiction as having wide effects on people and the people around them.
In sessions he uses practical, goal-oriented methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of his approach along with client-centered skills, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. He tends to offer straightforward strategies to notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior.
Rashad aims to help people reduce symptoms and build new habits through structured conversations and clear steps. He matches tools to a person’s situation and focuses on what can be done between sessions. People who want concrete techniques and regular review of progress may find his style useful.
How Rashad adapts CBT and motivational methods for online work
Rashad combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in straightforward ways. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then testing small, manageable changes to see what helps. Motivational Interviewing emphasizes supporting a person’s own reasons for change and building commitment one step at a time.He treats choosing an approach as a collaborative decision. The therapist and client look at goals and try methods that fit the situation, adjusting techniques over time based on what helps. The aim is practical - pick strategies that a person can use between sessions and measure progress together.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can also use a mix of structured homework, brief skills practice, and motivational conversations that transfer well to remote work.
