About Aisha
Aisha Mason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 16 years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She works with people facing low self-esteem, relationship strain, anger, and challenges with motivation and confidence. Her practice also addresses trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, ADHD, and career-related stress.
She uses practical talk and evidence-informed methods to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward change. Sessions focus on learning concrete skills, shifting unhelpful thinking, and improving day-to-day coping. Aisha draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide conversations and set goals.
Clients can expect a straightforward style that centers their goals and preferences. She pays attention to how stress shows up in work, relationships, and family roles, and helps people build routines and strategies that fit real life. Topics commonly addressed include parenting strain, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and problems with communication.
Aisha also works with people dealing with grief over separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and feelings of emptiness. She supports those recovering from post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood changes, panic attacks, and money-related worries. Her practice aims to reduce day-to-day overwhelm and improve functioning.
To begin, people fill out a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session. The first meetings focus on clarifying immediate concerns and setting practical, achievable steps forward.
How Aisha’s approaches translate to online sessions
Aisha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT helps people notice values and take small committed actions even when emotions are hard to sit with; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and feeling stuck. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and worry.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship so clients can set their own goals. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist and client will work together to pick methods that match the person’s goals, needs, and everyday life constraints.
