Faheda Rasool
Licensed in FL, NC, VA, MI, MA, CA, WY, and HI, I bring a warm, open, and curious approach to therapy, drawing on CBT, DBT, and ACT to meet each client where they are. Since entering practice in 2021, I've had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, peer conflict, perfectionism, OCD, and other life stressors. I believe therapy works best as a collaborative process — one built on trust, genuine curiosity, and practical tools you can carry into daily life. My goal is to create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported every step of the way
First session
During our first session together, I'd like to know more about what brings you to the therapeutic space. I'll explore some details just as family history, biggest stressors, current coping mechanisms, what brings you joy and calmness, and what you're hoping to achieve in this space. With this information, we'll create a treatment plan together with some goals that we can reference throughout the course of care
Strengths
I am a very empathetic and supportive individual and definitely this translates into my profession! It's hard when you're facing a challenge and feel as though you're going through it alone or that no one understands. Having a safe space to explore and express yourself towards someone who listens and can help guide can be crucial in overcoming hurdles
Ideal clients
I work best with adults and aging adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship conflict, and general life stressors. Many of my clients are managing the everyday weight of overthinking, self-doubt, or feeling stretched too thin — whether that shows up as racing thoughts, low motivation, tension in relationships, or difficulty focusing and following through. I also support older adults facing life transitions, loss, or shifts in identity and purpose. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical: we'll work together to understand what's really going on beneath the surface, and build coping tools you can use in real life — not just in our sessions, but in the moments that matter most, day to day.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been utilizing CBT as my primary treatment modality throughout my career with adolescents, teens, and adults. I like to incorporate worksheets and videos in sessions to accompany interventions to better explain the relationship between behaviors, thoughts, and feelings
Compassion-Focused
I utilize this modality in conjunction with CBT to highlight the importance of emotions and emotional regulation
Trauma-Informed Care
It's important to recognize and acknowledge the impact that trauma has had on an individual's life when beginning therapy so that clients feel physically and emotionally safe during our time together
Psychoeducation
Pyschoeducation is a core component of my sessions as this provides education on interventions we will be introducing for change
Daialectical Behavior (DBT)
This modality helps with managing moods and emotions; I have been borrowing elements of this model to accompany CBT throughout my practice
