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 concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. The profile also notes work around guilt and shame, forgiveness, family of origin issues, and end-of-life concerns.
Rashida uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent. She listens for patterns around attachment, control, and communication that keep problems repeating. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on clearer ways to describe what you need from others.
She pays attention to how past losses and family dynamics shape current guilt and shame. When those themes appear, Rashida helps people separate old rules from present-day choices. That can change how someone thinks about responsibility and regret.
Her approach also addresses caregiver stress, blended family strains, and issues tied to aging or hospice situations. For people who struggle with avoidance, dependence, or strong control needs, she looks at how those patterns affect relationships and day-to-day stress.
Rashida frames therapy as a practical collaboration. She adapts discussions and a treatment plan to the individual’s needs and goals. To begin, clients follow the site's intake steps to complete a matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online care
Rashida uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on adjusting thoughts and patterns that sustain distress. One common approach helps people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts about blame and responsibility, which can reduce persistent rumination and shame. Another approach targets relationship and attachment patterns by identifying interaction cycles and practicing clearer communication skills that reduce conflict and isolation.Finding the right fit is part of the work. Rashida collaborates with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adapts methods over time if something feels unhelpful or if priorities change.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients choose online work because it can fit into weekday breaks, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Discussing format during the intake helps match session length and frequency to daily life and responsibilities.
