About Aricksha
Aricksha Wilshire is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, practicing in New York with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She sees many people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to balance personal identity with external expectations.
She offers thoughtful listening and practical steps during sessions. Aricksha pays attention to cultural identity and generational patterns when relevant. She helps clients name how pressures from work, home, or community affect mood and behavior.
In conversation she uses straightforward strategies alongside talking through feelings. That can look like identifying small changes to daily routines, practicing ways to speak up, and building steady coping skills for panic or worry. Sessions also address relationship patterns and communication problems when those are part of the concern.
She can support people dealing with abandonment issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, codependency, forgiveness, immigration-related stress, isolation, and workplace issues. Aricksha also lists experience with panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, self-love work, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and women’s issues.
Appointments are offered with flexible scheduling during afternoons and evenings to better fit work hours. Conversations are available in English and Spanish. To begin, readers are asked to follow the site steps to match and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based techniques commonly used in this kind of work include cognitive behavioral approaches and skills-focused strategies. Cognitive behavioral methods look at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teach concrete ways to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety symptoms. Skills-focused work emphasizes short, practical exercises such as breathing, grounding, and behavioral experiments to manage panic and worry.Another useful strand is culturally informed talk work that attends to identity and generational patterns. That approach helps people name how cultural expectations affect choices and relationships and supports clearer communication about those pressures.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit. Adjustments can be made as work progresses so the method matches what helps most.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also allows people to choose a setup that feels manageable for them, such as a shorter daytime session or an evening appointment that fits around work.
