Aisha Jakachira, LPC

Aisha Jakachira is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, parenting strain, anger, and issues around self-esteem and career direction. She brings a practical, warm style to sessions and aims to create straightforward plans that fit each person’s life.

Her approach is conversational and interactive. Aisha listens first and then helps people try tools that make daily life easier. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with mindfulness and skills-based work to address upsetting thoughts and reactions.

She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies and EMDR for people who have trauma or intense emotional reactions. Sessions focus on building concrete skills like grounding, thought reframing, emotion regulation, and communication practice. These are taught in short, manageable steps so people can try them between sessions.

Aisha has 15 years of experience in mental health and addiction work and holds LPC credentials in Wisconsin and Arizona. Her background includes work across many settings, which informs a flexible, down-to-earth way of helping people find what works for them.

People who choose to work with Aisha can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space and a collaborative plan. She aims to make therapy useful and practical, helping people practice new ways of coping and move toward clearer goals.

Online approaches that teach skills and process trauma

Aisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT often involves homework-like practice and simple tools for everyday problems.

She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person’s goals and pace, offering empathy and support while people sort out what matters most. For people with intense emotional swings or difficulty tolerating distress, she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Aisha will talk with each person about their concerns and goals, then suggest options and adjust over time so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and role-play skills, while phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for a focused conversation. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing short exercises, and keeping momentum between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
