About Aisha
Aisha Jakachira is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience in mental health and addictions work. She practices in Arizona and lists stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, LGBT issues, and compassion fatigue among her areas of focus. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Aisha began working with people early on in daycare and school settings, and moved into a range of mental health roles. Over the years she has worked in online, inpatient, outpatient, residential, in-home, community, comprehensive treatment centers, corrections, and schools. Those roles involved individual therapy, group facilitation, addiction counseling, parenting skills, daily living skills, and anger management.
Her approach combines practical strategies with collaborative conversation. She uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns of thinking and coping. Mindfulness techniques appear in her work to help people notice responses as they happen.
Aisha also includes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and motivational interviewing when appropriate. She adapts tools to the problem at hand, for example focusing on impulse control and communication skills for anger or relapse prevention for substance-related issues. She describes her style as interactive and respectful.
Clients can expect straightforward sessions that aim to clarify goals and practice new skills. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the platform's online options.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Aisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and practice alternative responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that feed anger by breaking down situations and testing new behaviors.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools can be helpful when frustration builds quickly or when relationships are strained. In addition, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for processing traumatic memories when that fits the client's goals.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they will try methods that feel workable and adjust as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are presented as a way to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or longer sessions from wherever a person is based. The biography mentions prior online work, but current session delivery options should be confirmed before booking. This lets people plan around work, caregiving, or travel while still practicing CBT, DBT, or EMDR techniques with a licensed professional.
