Dr. Lisa Rasheed

Dr. Lisa Rasheed is a licensed clinical social worker with nearly three decades of experience helping adults navigate major life stresses. She offers grounded, straightforward support for people dealing with anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, caregiving burden, and other emotional challenges. Her style is compassionate and direct, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use right away.

She has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, primary care, medical specialty units, and private practice. That range has given her experience with aging-related concerns, chronic illness, bereavement, and caregiver stress as well as common mental health diagnoses. Dr. Rasheed works with adults across the lifespan from young adulthood into older age.

Her approach centers on partnering with each person to reach their own goals. She draws on client-centered methods that begin with listening and building on strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques teach simple ways to manage stress in the moment.

She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change and solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable steps. Sessions are meant to be practical and to leave people with tools they can use between appointments. Dr. Rasheed aims to make therapy useful and manageable for everyday life.

Her training includes a Doctor of Social Work in advanced clinical practice and supervision, a PhD in Educational Policy Studies, and a Master of Social Work in health and mental health. If a reader wants help with hospice and end-of-life counseling, grief, caregiver stress, or related concerns, she may be able to assist.

How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. Rasheed uses Client-Centered Therapy to begin by listening and building on a person's strengths, which helps people feel heard and seen while deciding what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood through specific exercises. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short, practical practices to calm the body and focus attention, useful for stress, grief, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. The plan can change as needs shift, and she aims to involve the person in choosing which strategies to try first.

For online therapy logistics, confirm session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find virtual sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make consistent check-ins simpler. Online work can support homework between sessions, brief follow-ups, and steady progress without requiring in-person visits, but be sure to verify which session options are available when you schedule.
