Aisha Gilliam, LPC

Aisha Gilliam is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She also supports people coping with life changes, grief, anger, ADHD, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Aisha works with those managing chronic illness or pain and with people exploring life purpose and self-worth.

Aisha uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens first and then offers tools that match each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered techniques, and solution-focused strategies are part of her approach. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful rather than full of jargon.

She brings seven years of clinical experience across schools, hospitals, and private practice settings. Her background includes work with veterans and people navigating postpartum depression, as well as young adult issues and women's concerns. Aisha emphasizes patience, compassion, and an easygoing manner to help people feel heard.

In a typical session she helps clients name the problem, try small experiments, and build new habits that change daily life. She tailors the pace and tools to each person's goals. Practical steps, homework between sessions, and regular check-ins are common parts of her work.

Aisha is licensed in Missouri as an LPC. She conducts sessions in English and provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Aisha’s Approaches Work Online

Aisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and helps people try small changes to reduce anxiety or depression. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and shape sessions around each person’s concerns, focusing on understanding and acceptance. Solution-Focused Therapy appears when time-limited steps are useful; it targets concrete goals and quick strategies to move forward.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Aisha discusses goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she and the client pick methods and adjust them over time so the plan fits real life and actual goals.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, brief strategy work, or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy around work, family, and medical needs.
