About Rasheena
Rasheena Vail uses a practical, people-centered approach to therapy. She is a licensed clinical social worker with both LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings 13 years of social work experience to her practice. Rasheena focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and many other life challenges in straightforward, compassionate ways.
She has provided care in settings such as the criminal justice system and has supported people who were detained or incarcerated.
How Rasheena works
She has also worked with veterans experiencing homelessness during their transitions toward stability. These roles shaped a direct, strengths-focused style of care. For more than four years Rasheena ran a independent practice oriented toward Black and Brown clients and LGBTQ+IA people, aiming to create an affirming space for healing and growth.
She combines traditional talk therapy with somatic and trauma-informed methods when helpful, and uses approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in practical, goal-oriented sessions. Outside of therapy, Rasheena studies horticulture and soil science and values time in nature.
She is a certified yoga instructor and an integrative nutrition health coach, and she brings that holistic interest into work that connects body, mind, and everyday habits. She describes therapy as a partnership where clients are guided to reclaim their stories and build resilience.
The focus is on small, usable steps that fit into real life and help people move toward clearer goals.

How Rasheena’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Rasheena uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is used to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck, focusing on their own reasons for change. Trauma-Focused and Somatic techniques help address the ways past experiences show up in the body and daily life, offering tools to manage reactions and build safety over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions often combine approaches so the plan fits what the client says is most useful in their life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working with licensed professionals remotely helps them apply strategies in the context of everyday routines, while still receiving focused guidance and practical tools.
