Aisha Gilliam, LPC - Therapist in Missouri

About Aisha

Aisha Gilliam is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She offers straightforward support for relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and life changes. Parents and young adults often find her calm presence easy to talk with.

Aisha practices from Missouri and brings seven years of counseling experience to each session. Aisha uses practical, hands-on methods in sessions. She listens first and then works with clients to set clear goals.

Background and approach

Her style is warm and patient, focused on small steps that fit daily life. Sessions aim to leave people with tools they can actually use between appointments. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudging space where a person’s priorities guide the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and coping patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy helps clients identify immediate next steps and build on strengths. Aisha’s background includes work in schools, hospitals, and independent practice settings.

That range helps her adapt to different ages and situations while keeping therapy practical. She also has experience addressing postpartum mood changes, compassion fatigue, chronic pain or illness, and issues common to young adults. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Licensure details are MO LPC 2019000930 and TX LPC 89646. Therapy programs use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Aisha uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel respectful and person-driven. That means the conversation focuses on the client’s priorities and the therapist follows their lead to understand what matters most. This approach helps people who need steady emotional support and a nonjudging space.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is practical and skills-based, which fits well with short exercises and homework between sessions. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties that affect daily routines.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Aisha collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She checks in along the way and adjusts the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and manageable.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy families or people with limited travel options. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules while still practicing CBT skills and solution-focused steps between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these tools to keep work steady and practical across the week.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
