Dr. Lisa Rasheed helps people facing career stress, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She is a licensed clinician with 29 years of experience and speaks directly and calmly with adults about practical steps they can take. Her style is warm, straightforward, and focused on clear goals.

She trained in social work and education and holds a Doctor of Social Work in Advanced Clinical Social Work and Supervision and a PhD in Educational Policy Studies. Over nearly three decades she has worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, primary care, medical specialty units, and private practice. That variety gives her experience with long-term conditions, caregiver strain, and complex medical or mental health needs.

Sessions emphasize building on a person’s strengths and learning skills to manage emotions and daily challenges. She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help clients try new behaviors and solve immediate problems. Conversations are practical and tailored to each person’s situation.

Dr. Rasheed aims to be an active partner in treatment. She supports people who want to make changes, even when change feels hard or overwhelming. Her demeanor is compassionate, honest, and occasionally humorous, and she works with each client to set realistic steps toward better functioning.

People often seek her help for depression, bipolar concerns, grief, caregiving stress, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, and career-related strain. She offers individual therapy that focuses on improving day-to-day coping and achieving personal goals.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship while helping the person identify their own goals. This approach supports people who want space to talk through feelings and to clarify values and choices.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and career-related stress because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can help with anxiety, anger, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit best based on a person’s goals, daily life, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adjust as needs change.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help people learn skills, set goals, and practice new habits in ways that work with their everyday routines.
