About Aisha
Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Aisha uses clear, conversational methods in sessions and invites straightforward discussion about what feels hard right now.
Aisha focuses on talk therapy alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and play-based methods when appropriate. She aims to help people name the thoughts and patterns that keep problems active and try small changes that reduce distress. Sessions move at a practical pace and center on what a person wants to address first.
She also pays attention to related concerns that often come up in early adulthood, such as relationship strain, feeling isolated, work and career stress, and changes after major life events. Aisha helps people talk through guilt, shame, communication difficulties, and the stress of caregiving or chronic health issues.
Aisha describes her approach as straightforward and collaborative. She listens for what feels most urgent and works with clients to test new ways of coping. The work often includes practicing concrete skills between sessions to notice small shifts.
People meet with Aisha to understand what bothers them and to take the next practical step forward. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session to set goals and priorities.
Practical approaches for online sessions
Aisha uses talk therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques in her clinical work. Talk therapy focuses on conversations about what feels most difficult and what a person wants to change. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thought patterns and behaviors and practice small experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also includes play-based methods when they fit the client and the goals. Play-based work can help people access feelings or try new ways of communicating when words alone feel stuck. Together, she and the client decide what methods to try and adjust those methods based on feedback and progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Aisha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques as things change.
