About Rasheda
Rasheda Long is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood shifts, or struggles with self-esteem. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, aimed at giving practical steps people can use right away.
She uses narrative ideas to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She also draws on client-centered work to make sessions focused on the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when people want concrete tools to change thinking and behavior. Rasheda has five years of experience in mental health. Her background includes school-based and community mental health settings, and she has supported people facing ADHD, depression, bipolar and mood concerns, grief, and family stress.
That range helps her match methods to each person’s situation. In sessions she looks for small strengths to build on. She treats clients as the experts in their lives and offers guidance and practical strategies when needed.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People most often work with her on issues such as parenting strain, intimacy-related worries, career stress, anger, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses topics like abandonment, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Rasheda uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and you begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session.

How narrative and practical approaches work online
Rasheda uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and find different, more helpful ways to view their experiences. Narrative work is useful for feeling stuck in unhelpful labels or patterns and for building a clearer sense of identity.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's needs and priorities. This approach emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, provides concrete strategies to change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rasheda collaborates with people to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for frequent, brief exchanges and for people who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
