Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo, LMSW

Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a licensed master social worker who supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She emphasizes clear listening and building an honest working relationship during sessions. Her aim is to help clients take one step closer to understanding what troubles them and to offer steady support along the way.

With five years of clinical experience, she relies on straightforward talk therapy alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and play therapy. Sessions focus on practical problem solving, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and practicing small habit changes that make daily life easier. Play-based approaches are used when they help someone express difficult feelings more naturally.

Clients can expect conversations that are direct and caring. The therapist works to make concerns feel understandable and manageable rather than overwhelming. She pays attention to how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior, and she helps people try new ways of responding to stress.

She also addresses related issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication and commitment concerns, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, and isolation. Topics like fertility struggles, family problems, guilt, shame, and infidelity are part of her practice when they come up.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided from Michigan. If a reader wants to begin, they should use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Approaches that focus on thoughts and daily habits

Aisha uses a few practical therapeutic approaches to address everyday struggles. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce anxiety or low mood. These techniques help people notice patterns and try manageable alternatives.

She also uses talk therapy as a core approach where conversations are aimed at making sense of feelings and decisions. This gives space to name what feels difficult and to plan concrete next steps. When helpful, she brings in play therapy methods to enable expression through activity rather than only words; this can be useful for people who find feelings hard to put into sentences.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods over time based on what actually helps.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific online or phone options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, avoid travel time, and choose a quieter moment for reflection. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about the available formats so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
