About Aisha

Aisha Jakachira is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and related issues. She speaks plain, direct language and aims to make the first conversation easy for a worried parent. Aisha’s tone in sessions is warm and respectful, and she takes time to listen before suggesting next steps.

Aisha uses practical tools drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness.

Background and approach

She also brings experience with EMDR for trauma and motivational interviewing for substance use and readiness to change. Sessions mix skill-building, real-world homework, and reflective conversation to help people manage strong emotions and improve relationships. Her background includes long-term work across many settings.

Aisha holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling with a minor in Addiction Studies and she is licensed in Wisconsin and Arizona - WI LPC 5578-125 and AZ LPC LPC-16412. She has roughly 15 years of professional experience in counseling and addiction work.

In practical terms she offers several ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary with client location and therapist availability.

For parents who want straightforward support, Aisha helps clarify goals and teaches tools to handle anger, communication problems, caregiver stress, and family conflicts. She works collaboratively to shape a plan that fits each family's life and priorities.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and building a trusting connection so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when parents want a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to talk through family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting reactions.

Aisha works with clients to find the right approach together rather than imposing a single method. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend CBT, client-centered work, EMDR, or other tools as needed. That process is collaborative and can shift as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a family schedule and to use tools in real time where problems arise.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
