About Aisha
Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a licensed master social worker who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She focuses on steady, clear support so clients can feel heard and understood. Sessions aim to make small, manageable progress toward problems that feel overwhelming.
With five years of clinical experience, she draws on talk therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and play-based methods. Aisha keeps things practical and uses plain language so parents and individuals can follow along.
Background and approach
She helps people notice patterns, try coping skills, and practice new ways of responding to difficult feelings. Her work often addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication and control issues, and isolation. She also supports people facing infertility stress, forgiveness or guilt, and challenges around commitment and intimacy.
Aisha takes concerns such as dissociation, emptiness, and family problems seriously and addresses them directly in sessions. Sessions move at a client’s pace. The therapist listens first, then suggests small steps to test new approaches between meetings.
Homework or short practices may be offered to build skills outside of session and to make change feel achievable. Aisha is located in Michigan and provides services in English. She focuses on clear, compassionate conversation and practical strategies to help people get a little farther along their path each week.
Evidence-based techniques and online flexibility
Aisha uses talk-based work and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Cognitive behavioral methods involve identifying thought patterns that increase anxiety or depression and practicing small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping.She also uses play-based methods to help people express emotions and practice skills in a gentler way. Play-based approaches can be useful for working through strong feelings, building emotional awareness, and trying out new social or coping strategies in low-pressure moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques to find what fits. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates or ongoing encouragement. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules while keeping care consistent and accessible.
