About Rashida
Rashida Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression.
Rashida focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. She listens to what feels most urgent and helps people break problems into manageable parts. Common themes she sees include communication breakdowns, family of origin patterns, and blended family issues such as merging households or step-parenting worries.
Her approach aims to clarify patterns that cause repeated conflict. She helps clients notice how reactions and old expectations affect present relationships. Sessions often include talking through recent events, identifying unhelpful habits, and testing small changes between meetings.
Rashida also addresses issues connected to caregiving, aging, grief, and guilt or shame. She will work with clients who are sorting through abandonment concerns or control and attachment difficulties. She frames these topics in plain terms and focuses on realistic next steps.
To begin she asks about what feels most pressing and what the person hopes to change. From there she and the client set priorities and a plan for follow-up. Scheduling is handled through the site's selection tools and an initial questionnaire.
Approaches used online and how they help
Rashida uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear, practical work. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies specific behaviors or interaction patterns to change; this helps with communication problems, blended household friction, and repetitive conflict. Another approach is skills-based coaching that teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety and stress, such as grounding steps and brief behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Rashida will talk with each person about their goals, past attempts at change, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is observed or priorities shift.
