About Aisha
Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a Licensed Master Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She centers simple conversation and clear goals in sessions. Her approach aims to make each next step feel manageable for people who are overwhelmed or stuck.
She brings five years of clinical practice to sessions and focuses on building a genuine working relationship. She believes being heard matters and creates space for people to say what they need to say.
Background and approach
Sessions use talk therapy alongside cognitive behavioral ideas and play-based techniques when helpful. Her work often addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and the isolation that can come with life challenges. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, and relationship concerns like commitment or infidelity.
Emotional themes such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, emptiness, and dissociation are part of her focus. Aisha pays attention to practical steps clients can try between meetings. That might mean trying a new way to handle anxious thoughts, rehearsing a difficult conversation, or testing a small behavior change.
Progress is framed as steady, reachable movement toward clearer understanding and calmer days. Sessions are offered in English and provided through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She practices in Michigan as an LMSW and works with people who want direct, conversational support for everyday struggles.
Approaches that help with anxiety and life changes
Aisha uses a few straightforward, evidence-based approaches in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral ideas focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. Talk therapy gives people space to tell their story and make sense of painful feelings while deciding what changes feel right.She also incorporates play-based techniques when appropriate to help express difficult emotions more safely and to try new ways of relating for people who benefit from that style. Each method is used practically and paired with simple tasks clients can try between meetings to notice what works.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust methods over time. Aisha aims to tailor sessions so they match what a person wants to work on and how they prefer to engage.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions fit times with lower bandwidth or when being on camera isn't wanted, and chat or messaging can serve for quick check-ins or on-the-go support. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
