About Aisha
Aisha Simons is a licensed professional counselor with 20 years of experience working with people in Georgia. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and addiction. Her practice also includes support for LGBT concerns, grief, and relationship stress.
She emphasizes respect for each person's background and viewpoint. In session she keeps things practical and direct. She listens first, then helps set short-term goals clients can actually use.
Conversations often include skill-building for coping, strategies to reduce anxiety, and steps to manage substance use.
Background and approach
She uses clear, everyday language so people understand what to try between sessions. Aisha pays attention to culture and identity when that matters for someone's healing. That may mean adapting approaches to fit a client's beliefs, family expectations, or social pressures.
She aims to help people feel seen and understood while they work on specific problems. Her toolbox draws from several well-known approaches that translate into hands-on techniques. Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical exercises, and problem-solving steps tailored to their situation.
The work is collaborative - she and the client decide what to focus on and how fast to move. People often come for help with life transitions, anger, parenting strain, ADHD, or career stress. Aisha supports recovery from drug and alcohol addiction and addresses social anxiety and phobias.
She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches that fit online work
Aisha uses client-centered methods that put the person's goals first and help build a trusting working relationship. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and shaping sessions around their priorities.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete strategies to reduce anxiety, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and develop new coping habits that people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss client goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so they meet both short-term needs and longer-term aims.
Online sessions come in several formats to match different needs. Video calls let people speak face to face, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can work for brief check-ins or when typing is easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to use the format that best supports steady progress.
