Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo, LMSW

Aisha Franklin-Onyeugwo is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) based in Michigan who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She aims to create a straightforward, honest space where people can feel heard. Sessions begin with listening so concerns become clearer and goals more practical.

Aisha uses talk therapy alongside cognitive behavioral approaches and play therapy to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She keeps language simple and actionable, helping clients name what’s hardest and test small changes between sessions. The work often centers on everyday problems like communication, guilt, isolation, and caregiver strain.

With five years of clinical experience, Aisha draws on that practice to support people through transitions and complex stressors. She often helps those facing chronic illness, fertility or relationship trust issues, dissociation, or feelings of emptiness. Sessions move at a pace the client sets so progress feels manageable.

People looking to address midlife questions, commitment concerns, or ongoing low mood can expect practical tools and conversational guidance. Aisha emphasizes understanding what’s happening now and building steps forward. If someone wants help figuring out next moves, she offers collaborative support to get started.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Aisha works in English and practices across concerns tied to life change and recovery from loss and stress.

Approaches and online therapy that fit your life

Aisha uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress and life change. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and low mood. Talk therapy centers on open conversation to clarify feelings and make plans for next steps. Play therapy offers a way to express and process emotions through activities rather than only words, which can help when feelings are hard to name.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods to try first, and will adjust the approach based on how well it matches the client's goals and comfort level. Collaboration helps make sessions feel relevant and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make fitting care into a busy schedule easier by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from wherever you are located in Michigan. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video when that better fits a day. Ask about practical arrangements and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions match your routine.
