About Rasheda
Rasheda Long welcomes people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood swings, or low self-esteem. She helps people who struggle with depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, anger, and the fallout from life changes or workplace strain. Rasheda writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
She uses a client-centered approach that treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and build on existing strengths.
How Rasheda works
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills. Rasheda holds an LICSW, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and practices in Alabama. Her background includes school-based therapy and community mental health work.
That experience shaped her ability to translate clinical ideas into everyday strategies. Therapy with her often combines talking through feelings with small, doable tasks to change how a person thinks and acts. She brings empathy, directness, and a steady focus on goals.
Sessions aim to reduce distress and help people manage relationships, parenting concerns, career stress, and feelings of isolation. People who prefer a straightforward, strength-based guide may find her style helpful. The work tends to be collaborative and practical, with attention to what changes will fit into daily life.

How approaches like CBT and client-centered work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. It helps people clarify what matters and use their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and tackle stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and attachment needs, helping people understand strong feelings and build more satisfying connections.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client will try methods that fit those needs and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on low-bandwidth days. Live chat or text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins or a shorter way to process emotions between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or parenting demands and to maintain steady momentum toward goals.
