About Rasheda
Rasheda Long is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Alabama with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger, depression, bipolar mood concerns, self-esteem, ADHD, and practical life changes. Rasheda also supports people facing parenting strain, intimacy questions, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
She began in school-based mental health and moved into community mental health, bringing experience from both settings into her practice. That background means she uses techniques that are straightforward and action-oriented. Sessions focus on identifying existing strengths and building on them to manage strong feelings and daily challenges.
Rasheda draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on the client's perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for patterns of thinking that feed distress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when relationships and attachment come up.
Her style is direct and practical. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and acts as a collaborator to suggest tools and strategies. Work in sessions may include skill practice, reframing thoughts, and looking at patterns that trigger anger or anxiety.
Rasheda sees goals like improved mood regulation, clearer communication, and better coping with change. She supports people through grief, feelings of emptiness, issues around control, and struggles with shame or isolation. Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her years working in school and community settings.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Rasheda commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the client's experience and priorities, which helps when sorting out what triggers anger or shame. CBT targets the thinking and behavior patterns that keep strong emotions active, offering concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy methods help when attachment and relationship patterns are driving distress, supporting clearer expression of feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rasheda collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will suggest approaches, try tools in session, and adjust plans based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports practical skill practice at home and smoother transitions between work or family tasks and therapy sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises, emotion-focused conversations, and strength-based coaching to remote formats, helping clients manage anger and related issues without promising specific outcomes.
