About Rasheda
Rasheda Long is an LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Alabama with five years of mental health experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and parenting and career concerns. She also supports people managing ADHD, intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.
Rasheda uses clear, structured methods to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered techniques to help clients test unhelpful thoughts and try new actions. She also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy when they fit the person's goals.
In session she treats the person as the expert on their life and acts as a practical guide. That can mean learning specific ways to reduce anxiety, practicing new communication habits, or breaking large problems into manageable steps. She emphasizes finding one or two strengths a person can use right away.
Her background includes school-based and community mental health work. That experience informs how she structures sessions and how she talks about goals and progress. Sessions focus on concrete skills, short experiments between meetings, and reviewing what worked.

How her approaches translate to online work
Rasheda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete behavior experiments to see what changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people clarify their own goals and values.She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotional connection and attachment themes are central. EFT helps people name strong emotions, track patterns that fuel conflict or withdrawal, and practice new ways of responding to feelings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review a client's goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That recommendation can change based on how a client responds, so plans are adjusted collaboratively over time.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use structured CBT exercises, review homework between sessions, and practice role-plays or communication skills over video or phone depending on agreed formats.
