About Aisha
Aisha Mason is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, parenting pressures, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Her practice also addresses caregiving stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life changes that affect day-to-day functioning.
She uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Sessions focus on skills for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and making decisions that match personal values.
Common topics include blended family challenges, divorce and separation, money and career stress, and parenting strains. She also helps with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, seasonal mood shifts, and problems with impulse control. The goal is clearer thinking and steadier routines that reduce daily overwhelm.
A typical session is conversational and practical. Aisha listens to what is most pressing, helps prioritize steps, and teaches simple tools to use between meetings. She encourages small, achievable changes rather than sweeping fixes.
People who work with her often receive a mix of skills practice, values clarification, and narrative work to reframe difficult experiences. If you want to address family-related stress or parenting burdens, she can help outline options and next steps. To confirm current session formats before booking, follow the online therapy options flow on the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Aisha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with their values. ACT often focuses on reducing avoidance and building habits that support family and parenting goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thoughts and try alternative ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and everyday parenting worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotions feel overwhelming - she teaches breathing, distress-tolerance, and emotion-regulation techniques that can be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss your situation, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the profile does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or focus on skills practice without travel. Check the online therapy options to see current session arrangements and schedule an initial meeting.
