About Fulisha
Fulisha Burks is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on work and wellbeing alongside everyday mental health concerns. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues with self‑esteem. Her tone is down-to-earth and practical, aiming to make uncomfortable conversations easier to start.
She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person, and she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for skills that change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. These approaches translate into straightforward tools people can use between sessions.
Her background includes supporting people living with chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and the aftermath of traumatic events. She has experience providing hospice and end-of-life care as well as life coaching, which informs how she supports goals about meaning and day-to-day coping.
Fulisha combines listening with practical steps. In sessions she helps people identify patterns, practice new ways to cope, and set small, achievable goals. The work often focuses on building self‑love, handling workplace strain, or reducing isolation.
She works from Illinois and conducts sessions in English. If a person is interested in starting, they use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Confirm current session formats before booking.
How these approaches guide online therapy
Client‑Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and priorities. It means the therapist listens carefully and follows what the client says matters most, which helps when sorting out work stress, grief, or questions about life purpose.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It provides hands‑on techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood over time.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It offers breathing, attention, and problem‑solving tools useful for stress, trauma reactions, and workplace strain.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so the work feels relevant and doable.
The biography does not list exact online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also lets people try skill practice in real life between appointments and bring workplace or daily challenges directly into session for immediate problem solving.
