About Rashida

Rashida Gordon is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She holds an LCSW and brings five years of professional experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, parenting, and depression.

Rashida speaks English and uses straightforward, respectful language in sessions. Rashida centers conversations on what matters most to each person. She listens without judgment and adapts the plan to meet individual needs.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and aimed at small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming lists of tasks. Her background includes helping people navigate family problems, communication struggles, and feelings tied to abandonment or attachment. She also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, grief and hospice issues, and challenges related to aging and geriatric concerns.

Rashida addresses personality-related patterns such as avoidant, dependent, and antisocial traits when they affect functioning. She helps clients work through guilt, shame, control issues, and problems rooted in family of origin dynamics. Therapy with Rashida uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each situation.

She frames progress as a collaborative effort and encourages clients to set goals that matter to them. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit busy families

Rashida uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques geared toward clear, practical change. One common approach focuses on symptom reduction and coping skills to manage stress and anxiety. This involves identifying triggers, building routines, and practicing new responses that make daily life easier.

She also emphasizes work around relationships and family dynamics. That kind of approach helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and handle conflict more calmly. It can be useful for parenting concerns, blended family issues, and family of origin wounds.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rashida will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats let people connect from home, fit sessions around caregiving or work, and maintain momentum between meetings. Rashida draws on the same clinical methods online as she does in other settings, tailoring the work to what each person needs and the format that works best for them.
