About Aricksha
Aricksha Wilshire is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with four years of clinical experience. She supports adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She provides services in English and Spanish.
Aricksha commonly sees people who feel overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. Many come with trouble balancing personal needs and outside expectations. She talks through what is happening now and helps clarify practical next steps for daily life.
Her sessions bring together direct conversation and concrete tools. Expect time to name feelings, examine patterns, and practice small skills that can help with mood and relationships. She also addresses issues such as codependency, abandonment, body image, and workplace stress when those show up.
Aricksha pays attention to cultural identity and generational patterns in her work. She notes how those influences affect coping, communication, and self-worth. This helps make sense of recurring problems and points to changes someone can try between sessions.
She offers flexible scheduling in the afternoons and evenings to fit around work hours. If you speak Spanish, you can have sessions in Spanish. Before booking, confirm the current session options to match your needs.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
The therapist uses evidence-based techniques that focus on emotions and behavior. One common approach looks at current thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and improve mood, using practical steps and brief exercises you can try between sessions. Another approach emphasizes processing emotions and relationships, helping people name painful experiences and form clearer responses rather than reacting automatically.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful based on your concerns, goals, and preferences. Together you can try an approach for a few sessions and adjust if needed so the work fits how you want to change.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or busy schedule and can reduce travel time. Some formats allow shorter check-ins while others support longer conversation and skill practice; the therapist can recommend what will likely match your needs once you start the intake process.
