About Aisha
Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She focuses on building an honest, working relationship so clients feel understood and heard. Sessions are conversational and practical to help people make small, steady progress.
With five years of clinical experience, she uses talk therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. She also incorporates play therapy when that approach fits a client's needs. The aim is to break down problems into manageable steps and try things that make everyday life easier.
She often supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and the emotional fallout from fertility or family issues. She also addresses concerns like dissociation, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among areas she can help with.
In sessions she listens first, then helps clients set clear, small goals. Conversations focus on practical changes and understanding what keeps a problem going. The style is calm, direct, and focused on what works for the person's life.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location and availability.
How her methods translate to online care
Talk therapy is a straightforward approach that focuses on open conversation. It helps people sort through feelings, name what feels hard, and set small, practical goals to change daily habits or reactions. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach simple skills to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to the person’s goals and tries an approach that fits their needs. If something isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan together with the client so sessions stay focused and useful.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins during a lunch break or between other obligations. Some formats also work better when low bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed, while others let people use video for a face-to-face feel. The therapist will discuss which option is most practical and comfortable during the matching and scheduling steps.
