About Rasheda
Rasheda Long is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens closely so parents can talk through what’s overwhelming them and find practical next steps. She uses straightforward conversation to uncover strengths a person may be overlooking.
Sessions aim to make small changes feel doable rather than overwhelming. Rasheda centers the client’s experience and works side by side to build skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Her background includes five years in mental health, with experience in school-based and community settings. That range helped her learn simple, effective techniques for behavior, mood, and relationship concerns. She brings that practical experience into sessions and adapts tools to each person’s situation.
Rasheda draws on several approaches depending on what the client needs. She often uses client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead, cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and connection are central. She holds an AL LICSW, practices in Alabama, and conducts sessions in English.
Rasheda offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so parents can choose formats that fit busy days. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the client’s lead and reflecting what matters most to them so they feel heard and understood; it is useful when a parent needs a space to sort priorities and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, mood, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships and can be helpful when intimacy or attachment concerns are a core issue.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rasheda will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the client’s needs. If something isn’t working, she and the client adjust the plan together until it fits the situation and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session with visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, live chat supports real-time text conversation, and messaging lets someone send shorter updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting routines and different daily schedules.
