About Aisha

Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical therapy experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Aisha also focuses on caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, commitment and communication problems, and feelings of emptiness and isolation.

She favors straightforward talk therapy and uses cognitive behavioral techniques in sessions. She also incorporates play therapy when appropriate. Sessions center on listening, naming what feels difficult, and taking small steps toward clearer thinking about problems.

Aisha aims for concrete progress one step at a time. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of responding, and practice simple skills between meetings. The work is practical and paced to what each person can manage.

She brings five years of hands-on clinical experience to common life stresses and relational concerns. That background informs how she guides conversations about grief, guilt, forgiveness, and managing persistent or chronic health challenges.

People often start therapy unsure what to focus on. Aisha helps narrow the most pressing concerns and sets short-term goals. She asks a few targeted questions early on and then shapes sessions around the issues the client wants to address.

Sessions are conducted in English from her Michigan practice. Prospective clients select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time and cost varies with location.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions

Many of Aisha's methods are practical and easy to use in conversation. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying upsetting thoughts and testing different responses. That work helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Talk therapy is the core of her practice. It means guided conversation about what is bothering someone, with the therapist asking questions, reflecting back what they hear, and suggesting small experiments or new ways to respond. Play therapy is used when its tools fit a client's needs and can help express difficult feelings that are hard to name.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most useful based on goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or new issues arise.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent traveling. Licensed professionals can adapt cognitive and talk-based techniques effectively over remote sessions when the format matches the client's practical needs.
