About Aisha
Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is an LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker) practicing in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses concerns such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, guilt and shame, relationship struggles, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
She focuses on clear, conversational sessions where people can talk through what is troubling them. Sessions center on talk therapy and use cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes. She also incorporates play therapy when that approach fits the needs of the person in front of her.
In practical terms she aims to help people name what is causing pain and take one step toward understanding it. That often means breaking worries into manageable pieces. It can also mean practicing different ways of responding to difficult thoughts and memories.
Her style emphasizes an earnest client-therapist relationship and making people feel heard. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused on what matters now. She works with adults carrying guilt or shame about actions, identity, family, faith, or relationships and helps them explore those feelings without promising specific outcomes.

How evidence-based techniques work in remote sessions
She commonly uses talk therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. Talk therapy provides a chance to put problems into words and sort through them step by step. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying concrete, small changes in how a person thinks or behaves to reduce their immediate distress.She also uses play therapy when appropriate. That approach uses guided, activity-based interaction to express emotions and practice new ways of relating, which can be useful when verbal descriptions feel limited.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will help figure out which techniques fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as work progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, or remove travel time from a day. Many people find the flexibility of remote sessions helps them keep therapy consistent alongside work, caregiving, or medical commitments.
