About Aisha

Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and people coping with life changes. Aisha uses straightforward talk therapy alongside cognitive behavioral tools and play-based methods during sessions.

She focuses on listening and helping people put words to what feels difficult. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. The aim is to help a person identify what’s getting in the way and take a clear next step toward feeling differently about it.

Aisha uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try practical alternatives. She also uses play therapy techniques when that approach fits someone’s needs, offering a different way to work through feelings that can be hard to name.

Her work also addresses caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, relationship communication issues, fertility concerns, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Aisha talks through practical coping strategies for grief, guilt, shame, and setbacks related to trust or commitment.

People who prefer direct conversation and structured tools may find her approach approachable. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and suggests small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding. If a person wants to start, the next step is to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

Aisha practices in Michigan and conducts sessions in English. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online work

Many of her sessions use practical, evidence-based techniques. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how problems feel. That method is useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood because it breaks concerns into clear steps people can try between sessions.

Play-based methods offer another route when words are hard to find. Play techniques let people express feelings and try out responses in a less direct way, which can be helpful for grief, dissociation, or strong emotions that feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting as needed based on what helps most. The focus is on figuring out which tools fit the person rather than insisting on a single method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with her about how you prefer to meet so sessions can fit into everyday life.
