About Aisha
Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more able to cope. Aisha emphasizes listening first so clients feel understood and heard from the start.
She brings five years of clinical therapy experience to sessions and holds an LMSW, which is a licensed master social work credential. Aisha uses talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and play therapy in her work, choosing methods that fit each person's needs.
How Aisha works
Sessions aim to clarify what feels most troubling and find small, doable ways forward. Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers techniques clients can practice between sessions.
The focus is on building skills for everyday situations rather than lengthy theory discussions. Aisha also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and issues tied to fertility, relationships, guilt, and shame. She helps clients facing isolation, communication breakdowns, control struggles, and the emotional fallout from disasters.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with attention to each person's pace. The aim is steady progress through clear goals and practical tools that can be put into use right away.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Aisha uses evidence-based techniques to help people make practical changes. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Talk therapy provides space to process grief, relationship worries, and feelings of emptiness by naming what matters and organizing steps forward. Play-based methods are used when a different, more creative way of communicating helps someone express feelings or practice new skills.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative attitude helps match techniques to what actually helps in daily life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone sessions can be a good fit when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, fast questions, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs.
