Rashida Gordon

Rashida Gordon is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She holds an LCSW and has five years of clinical experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or depression. She also supports clients facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.

Rashida works in a respectful and compassionate way. She adapts conversations and care to each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable so people can use what they learn between sessions.

In sessions she listens for what matters most to each person. She helps people untangle patterns that cause guilt, shame, or repeating conflict. She also addresses issues tied to abandonment, attachment, and family of origin concerns.

Rashida has experience assisting those who face caregiver stress, blended family tensions, and aging or geriatric issues. She offers help talking through control, dependence, and communication problems so daily life feels a bit easier.

She can also support people dealing with hospice and end-of-life counseling topics, offering a steady presence during difficult conversations. If you are ready to take a first step, she asks that you be honest about your goals so sessions can be shaped around them.

Approaches that guide online care

Rashida uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses centers on building coping skills for stress and anxiety - teaching simple tools to manage difficult feelings and reduce daily overwhelm. Another emphasis is on addressing relationship patterns and attachment issues by identifying repeating behaviors and trying new ways of communicating that feel safer and clearer.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways to proceed. That process is collaborative and can shift as goals evolve so therapy stays relevant to real-life needs.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm available session options before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can meet during lunch breaks or between appointments. Licensed professionals can use video or phone work to maintain continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult, and Rashida will discuss which option best fits your daily life and goals.
