About Rashida
Rashida Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with five years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and geared toward practical problem solving.
Rashida aims to create straightforward conversations about what is causing strain in day-to-day life. She listens for patterns in relationships, family background, and behavior that keep problems active. Then she helps people try small, practical changes and communication strategies to reduce distress and improve interactions.
Her background includes working with issues tied to abandonment, attachment, and family of origin concerns. She also addresses caregiver stress, blended family issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work and responds to the facts people bring into sessions.
Rashida keeps sessions focused on achievable steps and clearer communication. She will talk through options for addressing control issues, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and antisocial or avoidant traits when they show up in relationships. Her approach is direct and practical rather than theoretical.
People who prefer clear goals and gradual behavioral change often find this style useful. She encourages realistic plans for parenting, grief, caregiving, and repairing relationship patterns. The next step is to review online therapy options and the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Rashida uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and then testing small changes to see what works in daily life. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by translating insights into actions.Another commonly used approach addresses attachment and relationship patterns. It examines how early family dynamics affect current relationships and then practices new communication strategies to reduce conflict and improve understanding. That work is useful for people managing relationship strain, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will review your situation, goals, and how you prefer to engage, then suggest which techniques to prioritize. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may shift as goals change.
Please confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the original biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the matching process to learn which session formats are available and to schedule the first appointment.
