About Aisha
Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Michigan with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and adjustment after life changes. She also focuses on caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, commitment and communication problems, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
In session she centers on building a straightforward, honest relationship. She listens and helps people name what feels most pressing. Sessions use talk therapy alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and play-based approaches where helpful.
She helps people break problems into manageable steps. That can mean identifying unhelpful thought patterns, practicing different ways of communicating, or trying small behavioral changes to ease stress. When grief or loss is present, she offers steady, measured support to help people make sense of what they are feeling.
Her style is practical and conversational. She focuses on what can change now and what might take more time. Clients can expect direct feedback, collaborative planning, and check-ins on progress.
Aisha asks people to notice small shifts rather than promise big transformations. She describes therapy as a place to talk through what matters next after a job change, breakup, health event, or other life transition. Sessions are offered in English and conducted in Michigan by an LMSW.
Approaches used and how online work fits
Aisha practices with plain, evidence-based methods including talk therapy and cognitive behavioral techniques. Talk therapy focuses on clear conversations about what feels most difficult and what the client wants to change. Cognitive behavioral methods look at thoughts and behaviors, and use simple exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting.She also uses play-based methods when helpful to access feelings and practice skills in less direct ways. Play approaches can be useful when emotional expression is hard or when different ways of communicating are needed. These methods are presented as practical options rather than labels for the person.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and check in regularly about what is or isn’t working. That helps shape whether sessions stay focused on skills, on talking through feelings, or on other techniques.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quieter check-ins when time is short, or reduce travel time. It can also let people keep an ongoing rhythm of appointments after a job, relationship, or health change.
