About Aisha

Aisha Jakachira is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, career questions, compassion fatigue, and related struggles.

Background and approach

With 15 years of experience in mental health and addiction fields, she draws on a broad background that includes inpatient and outpatient settings, residential programs, community work, corrections, schools, and online practice.

Her work also addresses specific issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, eating and substance-related issues, family conflict, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt, and shame. Her approach is warm and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion while avoiding stigmatizing labels.

She blends evidence-informed methods to fit each person's needs, using techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, EMDR, mindfulness work, motivational interviewing, and client-centered principles. Aisha aims to tailor sessions and treatment plans so they respond to a client's goals and life circumstances, offering practical tools as well as support during difficult transitions.

She welcomes clients who are ready to explore change and take the next steps toward greater wellbeing.

Remote approaches that combine skills and trauma work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathic stance where the therapist follows the client's lead and creates space for self-exploration; this approach helps people feel heard and supported while they clarify values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address mood or habit patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills training for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense emotions, conflict, and impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will work together with each client to consider symptoms, personal goals, and preferences, adapting methods or combining techniques so treatment matches what the client needs and values.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, letting people connect in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life changes while allowing therapists to apply CBT, client-centered strategies, DBT skills, and trauma-informed techniques in real time during sessions.
