Rasheena Vail, LCSW, LICSW

Rasheena Vail is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 13 years of social work experience. She practices in Washington and lists work with stress, anxiety, depression, LGBT concerns, trauma and addiction among her focus areas. Rasheena also names parenting, career strain, relationship and intimacy difficulties, grief, sleep and eating issues, and neurodiverse concerns such as ADHD and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

She began clinical social work in 2013 and shifted part of her practice toward telehealth in 2020. Her background includes work inside the criminal justice system and supporting veterans experiencing homelessness as they moved toward stability. She also ran a private practice for over four years that concentrated on supporting Black and Brown people and LGBTQ+IA individuals.

Rasheena blends several therapeutic approaches in session. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thinking patterns and behaviors. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and find their own reasons for change. Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term planning and practical next steps.

She also incorporates somatic and trauma-focused methods when past experiences are a central concern. Outside the office she is a certified yoga instructor and an integrative nutrition health coach, and she often references physical well-being when it relates to emotional health. Her personal interests include gardening, animals, cooking, and travel.

Rasheena’s style is practical and direct. She helps people identify small changes that fit daily life, and she works with concrete goals like better sleep, fewer panic episodes, or clearer boundaries. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the site.
