About Rasheed

Rasheed Ojerinde is a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of clinical experience. He practices in Indiana and brings steady, practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting questions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. He speaks English and Yoruba and is available to work with clients across borders.

Rasheed takes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. He listens first, then helps clients map out small, doable steps toward clearer thinking and better emotional control.

Background and approach

He draws on a range of methods led by proven therapies rather than a single technique. In the room he focuses on the patterns that create pain - how people relate to each other, how thoughts fuel anxiety, and how emotions get out of balance. He often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and attachment-based thinking to understand relationship patterns.

Sessions mix conversation, practical skill-building, and reflection. Rasheed has experience in community mental health agencies, state clinics, hospitals, and day treatment programs. That background informs a flexible style that adapts to each person's circumstances and goals.

He emphasizes collaboration and clear care plans so clients know what to try between sessions. People who seek him out can expect a calm, direct clinician who values cultural understanding. Rasheed aims to help clients feel less stuck, manage strong emotions, and make steady progress toward the life changes they want.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how people form bonds and respond to closeness. It helps when relationship patterns, trust, or intimacy cause distress and guides new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. It is practical and skill-oriented, which works well over video or phone. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people clarify difficult emotions and reshape interactions that maintain conflict or distance.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily challenges, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist try methods, check how they feel, and adjust the plan so the work fits personal needs and preferences.

Online sessions offer flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That variety makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to pick the format that feels most comfortable for a given topic. Whether someone needs brief skill coaching by text or deeper conversation by video, these options support regular, consistent work toward clearer thinking and better emotional balance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
