Dr. Lisa Rasheed, LICSW, LCSW

Dr. Lisa Rasheed works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She helps people build skills for better sleep, manage anger, address addiction concerns, and strengthen self-esteem. Her approach is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than abstract theory.

She has nearly three decades of clinical experience and has worked across inpatient, outpatient, primary care, and specialty medical settings. That background means she often brings both clinical and real-world perspectives to sessions. Dr. Rasheed uses familiar methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people identify unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

In sessions she leans on client-centered principles, treating each person as the expert in their own life. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused steps are woven in when people want clear goals and short-term strategies. The work tends to be collaborative, practical, and paced to the person’s needs.

Dr. Rasheed’s training includes a Doctor of Social Work in advanced clinical practice and supervision, a PhD in educational policy studies, and a Master of Social Work with a health and mental health focus. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings experience with adult clients ranging from 18 to 99 years old.

People who reach out can expect straightforward conversations and concrete tools to try between meetings. She often helps those coping with caregiver stress, blended family issues, relationship conflict, end-of-life concerns, and challenges common to veterans and the armed forces. The emphasis is on finding manageable next steps.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy centers on listening and following each person’s priorities. In practice this means the therapist helps clients name what matters most and then supports steps toward those goals, whether that involves coping with grief or juggling caregiver stress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood, and it gives clear exercises people can use between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without immediately reacting. These simple practices can help reduce tension, improve attention, and make everyday choices feel less automatic.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as needed during care.

If you plan to pursue online therapy with her, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a lunch break or between appointments.
