Therapist

I follow the concept that therapy can heal emotional pain, improve relationships and increase self-understanding. Beginning therapy can often be intimidating, but can make a big difference in your ability to cope with challenges or make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to move forward. I am open to addressing unresolved or present barriers in your life, guide and help you make sense out of your own thoughts ideas and conflicts (situational).

Rashidah Daniels

Rashidah Daniels

Therapist

Virtual • New York


As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over a decade of experience in the helping profession, I specialize in working with adults (18+) navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Many of my clients are professionals and executives operating in high-pressure environments who are used to pushing through, yet find themselves feeling overwhelmed, mentally fatigued, or stuck.

Clients often share that they feel comfortable opening up with me early in the process. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while focusing on clear, meaningful change. My approach is structured and goal-oriented, combining evidence-based strategies with practical tools that can be applied outside of sessions to improve focus, manage stress, and reduce burnout while enhancing day-to-day functioning.

I work best with individuals who are ready to engage in the process, gain clarity, and make intentional, lasting changes in both their personal and professional lives.
