About Aisha

Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She uses a straightforward, listening-first approach so clients feel heard and understood from the start. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings to cope better day to day.

With five years of clinical practice, she centers the therapeutic relationship as the core of work. Her sessions use talk therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. She also offers play therapy when it fits the needs of the person in front of her.

Aisha often helps people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness or pain, fertility struggles, and isolation. She also addresses communication and commitment concerns, feelings of emptiness, dissociation, and the emotional fallout from infidelity, guilt, or shame. The work can include coping strategies for disasters and support related to intellectual disability when relevant.

In sessions she focuses on clear, doable goals. Conversations are guided and practical, with attention to emotions and daily life demands. Clients leave with steps to test between sessions and a plan to review what works.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Aisha uses a few straightforward approaches in her practice. Talk therapy focuses on open conversation about feelings and situations to help people understand what troubles them and find clearer choices. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at patterns of thinking and behavior, helping people test small changes that can reduce anxiety or lift mood. Play therapy is used when more expressive or activity-based methods suit the person’s needs and can help access emotions differently than talk alone.

Picking the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit, and check in to see what helps most. Together they adjust the focus and tactics so work stays relevant to daily life and personal priorities.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that works better. They also make it possible to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while the therapist and client decide what pacing and structure best support progress.
