About Aisha

Aisha Jakachira is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor with 15 years of experience working in mental health and addictions. She practices in Arizona and lists concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, coaching, and compassion fatigue. Aisha also notes work with areas like abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, codependency, and substance use concerns.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people name problems and set practical goals. Sessions focus on skills people can use outside of appointments. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, and mindfulness practices depending on the need.

Her background includes long experience across many service settings, including inpatient and outpatient care, residential programs, schools, corrections, community work, and online practice. That range informs how she structures sessions for different challenges, from addiction counseling to anger management and parenting skills.

Aisha explains options clearly and works collaboratively on a treatment plan. You can expect a blend of talking, targeted exercises, and coping skills tailored to current life demands. She also has experience facilitating groups and running both one-on-one and family-involved work when relevant.

Practical matters such as session scheduling and the process for starting are handled through the platform’s onboarding flow. Aisha accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. It helps people who need a space to clarify values and make choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works with thoughts and behaviors using short, focused exercises to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful patterns, and build coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when feelings are intense.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review your goals, current challenges, and preferences and then recommend starting points. That plan can change as progress is made and as needs evolve, with the clinician checking in and adapting methods together with you.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you prefer specific arrangements such as longer sessions for skills work or focused single-issue meetings, mention that when you complete the matching questionnaire so those preferences can be discussed ahead of your first appointment.
