Background and approach

She has practiced in inpatient and outpatient settings, primary care, medical specialty units, and independent practice, working with adults across a wide age range. Her approach centers on partnership. She treats people as the experts in their own lives and uses practical techniques to reach goals.

Sessions often include skill-building, clear problem solving, and attention to what the person values most. Dr. Rasheed uses a mix of methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, client-centered listening, and solution-focused work.

She adapts tools to the situation, whether addressing sleep, mood, addiction, or caregiving stress. Her style is compassionate and direct, with room for warmth and occasional humor when appropriate. Many clients seek her help to learn new skills, make decisions, navigate loss, or reduce day-to-day distress.

She aims for care that fits each person’s life and practical needs.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping people clarify what they want to change. In online sessions this often means setting achievable goals and tailoring conversations so they fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT uses practical exercises and small behavioral steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or address low mood.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and try methods that fit those aims. If something does not feel helpful, the plan can be adjusted together so the work stays relevant and doable.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range makes it easier to fit help into work and family schedules. It also allows follow-up and skills practice between meetings, so progress can continue even on busy days.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
