About Raessha
Raessha Stanley is a licensed social worker in Georgia with 13 years of practice. She holds LISW-CP, LCSW, and CSW credentials and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and anger. She describes her work as helping people talk through difficult feelings and regain more control in daily life.
She helps clients who are dealing with relationship strain, sleep problems, career stress, and life changes. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse and a range of mood and impulse concerns. Raessha also notes experience with attachment and personality-related issues such as avoidant and dependent patterns.
In sessions she listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. Conversations focus on practical steps to reduce reactivity, manage cravings, improve communication, and rebuild routines that support better mood and sleep. Goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Raessha draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide changes in thinking and behavior. She pays attention to how patterns of control, codependency, and impulsivity affect choices and relationships. Work may include building new coping skills, practicing different responses to anger, and addressing setbacks with problem-solving.
Clients can expect a straightforward, conversational approach that emphasizes real-world tools. She notes that starting therapy takes courage and that early sessions typically focus on immediate, manageable changes. The practical aim is steadier reactions, clearer boundaries, and more consistent daily functioning.
How evidence-based techniques adapt to remote work
Raessha describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive approaches help identify thinking patterns that fuel anger and mood problems, and then teach alternative ways of responding to stress and triggers. Behavioral techniques focus on building routines, practicing new responses, and reducing impulsive actions to improve daily functioning.She also draws on skills-based methods that teach concrete coping tools. These methods can include step-by-step strategies for managing cravings, improving sleep routines, and practicing calmer communication during conflicts. Each approach is matched to the issues a person brings to sessions, such as anxiety, impulse control, or relationship tension.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which skills to prioritize and how to apply them between sessions.
If you are considering remote sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people appreciate online therapy because it can fit into a workday, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about practical preferences like session length, camera use, and timing so sessions can fit into everyday life.
