About Rasheena
LCSW and LICSW in Washington with 13 years of experience, Rasheena Vail supports people facing stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, and identity-related challenges. She works with adults on practical problems like sleep and eating issues, relationship strain, addictions, and career stress. Sessions use therapy methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and somatic and trauma-focused approaches.
Rasheena began clinical social work in 2013. Since 2020 she has provided telehealth therapy and has experience in criminal justice settings and work with veterans experiencing homelessness. She also ran a private practice for over four years focused on Black, Brown, and LGBTQ+IA communities.
Her work emphasizes clear, concrete steps in session. She uses CBT to address patterns of thought and behavior and somatic techniques to help people notice and regulate body-based responses. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help with building immediate, achievable goals and sustaining change.
Outside clinical hours she studies horticulture and soil science and is a certified yoga instructor and integrative nutrition health coach. These interests inform an attention to bodily and lifestyle factors that affect mood and energy.
Rasheena describes therapy as collaborative problem-solving. She encourages clients to set specific goals, try small experiments between sessions, and adjust approaches based on what works. To begin, users follow the site’s matching flow to schedule a first appointment.

How Rasheena’s approaches translate to online work
CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Online sessions can use CBT to set practical goals, try behavioral experiments, and review progress between meetings. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and helps build commitment to specific steps forward; it suits decisions around substance use, lifestyle changes, or ambivalence about treatment.Somatic Therapy pays attention to bodily sensations tied to stress and trauma. In remote sessions this can mean guided breathing, movement awareness, and learning techniques to reduce bodily tension that fuels anxiety. These methods are used together as needed rather than as a single fixed program.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, values, and daily life. That collaboration includes trying an approach, reviewing how it goes, and switching tactics when needed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list explicit formats. Ask about available session types and how they fit into your routine. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy around work, school, and family by reducing travel time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to maintain continuity when schedules shift.
