Aisha Jakachira

Aisha Jakachira is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and related challenges. She works with concerns such as anger, low self-esteem, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Aisha also supports people navigating identity questions including LGBT issues and gender dysphoria.

Aisha brings 15 years of clinical experience in mental health and addiction settings. Her background includes work in outpatient and inpatient programs, residential and community care, corrections, schools, and group facilitation. She also has a history of providing addiction counseling and daily living skills training.

Her approach is warm and interactive. Sessions are tailored to each person's needs and goals. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person, and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach practical skills for mood and behavior change.

For people with trauma, she uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as part of the work when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing is used to support shifts in substance use and other habits. Aisha avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion.

She holds LPC licensure in Wisconsin and Arizona and offers services from Arizona. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people process and manage the effects of traumatic experiences. It often involves pacing the work, building coping skills, and addressing trauma reactions so daily life feels more manageable. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and priorities, creating a space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports whatever goals matter most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan over time. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques feel most useful for reducing symptoms and improving functioning.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also let people use a shorter phone or video check-in when longer sessions are hard to schedule.
