About Rashad
Rashad Slate is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of clinical experience in community mental health and addiction services. He began working in behavioral health in 2004 and has progressed through roles that include home health aide, home-based case manager, and outpatient therapist.
Background and approach
He now practices in Indiana and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and addiction concerns. Rashad draws on long experience with drug and alcohol addiction and family problems.
He spent many years providing home-based family therapy and more than a decade in addictions outpatient work. That background shapes how he listens and responds to problems people bring to sessions.
In the therapy room he uses clear, practical methods. He helps clients set small, achievable goals and build skills they can use between meetings.
Conversations are direct but respectful, aimed at real-world change rather than jargon. Rashad describes his style as collaborative.
He works alongside each person to identify priorities and find tools that fit their life. Sessions may include exploring unhelpful thinking, strengthening motivation for change, and focusing on concrete solutions.
People who choose him often want a therapist with long experience in addiction and family challenges, and someone who will work in a straightforward way. He offers sessions online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make care easier to access for people with busy schedules.
Approaches you can use online
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own experience and priorities. The therapist listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client, which helps when someone needs a space to talk through feelings or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and depression because it teaches practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That means sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, focused exchanges that can fit into a lunch break or a hectic schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use the approaches above in ways that suit daily life.
