About Fulisha
Fulisha Burks is a licensed clinical social worker with eight years of experience. She uses a warm, person-focused style to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and low self-esteem. Her approach aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical.
She works from Illinois and conducts sessions in English. Fulisha combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions often include real-world tools and small practice steps between meetings. Her background includes supporting people with chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, and workplace strain. She has also helped people process trauma, post-traumatic stress, and experiences of abuse.
This range of experience informs how she adapts care to each person’s situation. Fulisha brings experience from hospice and end-of-life support alongside more typical behavioral health work. That combination helps her address grief, life purpose questions, and transitions with sensitivity.
Conversations focus on what the person needs now and what practical next steps will help. People can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style in sessions. The therapist and client work together to set goals and try approaches that fit day-to-day life.
Treatment plans are adjusted as needs change and progress is discussed openly.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Fulisha uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and pace. This approach means sessions start with what matters most to the client and build from there, which helps when people are sorting through stress, life purpose, or grief.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. These tools can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming or when a person wants better ways to cope day to day.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and past experiences and help decide which methods to try first. Therapy plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep progress moving forward.
