About Aisha

Aisha Simons is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of clinical experience based in Georgia. She focuses on helping people who face stress, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions. Her practice also pays attention to multicultural concerns and social anxiety.

Aisha aims to create a straightforward, respectful space for people to begin making changes. She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, grief, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with intimacy-related issues, anger, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD. Drug and alcohol addiction is listed among her additional focus areas. Aisha uses practical, evidence-informed tools to help clients build coping skills and solve immediate problems.

She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and Solution-Focused techniques. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, aimed at manageable steps rather than abstract theory. Her style is culturally aware and affirming, with attention to each person’s background and identity.

She explains options plainly and helps clients pick approaches that fit their life and values. Many people find this practical, down-to-earth way of working easier to follow. Clients choose sessions by considering what feels doable for them.

Aisha emphasizes small, steady progress and skill-building that can be used between meetings. She accepts international clients and offers multiple remote session formats for access from different locations.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood. It helps people clarify their own goals and build confidence through supportive conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful behavior.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit their situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular meetings easier to keep. These formats give flexibility for busy schedules and for people who live far from Georgia. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Client-Centered techniques to remote formats so clients can practice skills and get feedback between sessions.

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.
