About Aisha

Aisha Gilliam is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and shifts in life purpose. She also addresses compassion fatigue, anger, career concerns, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, and issues common to young adults and women.

Background and approach

With seven years of practice, she draws on a variety of clinical approaches to meet a wide range of concerns and life stages. Her style emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving.

Aisha blends cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered listening and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, set realistic goals, and build coping skills. She has experience in school, hospital, and independent practice settings, and tailors sessions to each individual's priorities while maintaining a warm, patient presence.

Clients can expect a down-to-earth therapist who values compassion and clear, actionable steps. Aisha aims to create an accepting space where people can explore self-esteem, parenting, postpartum or family issues, and long-term health challenges while working toward steady, manageable change.

Practical Approaches for Online Growth

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and empathy, creating space for clients to explore feelings and values while the therapist follows the client's lead to support self-discovery and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete strategies to reframe thinking and build coping skills for issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes identifying strengths and small, achievable goals so clients can move toward meaningful change in a few targeted steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and often happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to understand their concerns, preferences, and goals, then combine elements from different approaches as needed to form a personalized plan that feels workable and relevant.

Online therapy makes these methods accessible through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, let clients access care from home or while traveling, and support ongoing progress through brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what best fits the client's life and goals.
