About Folashade
Folashade Olatunbosun is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with 19 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Folashade structures sessions around practical conversation. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people sort priorities. Sessions aim to identify small steps that reduce stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Language offered includes English and Yoruba.
In practice she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to look at thinking patterns and behavior that maintain distress. Folashade helps clients practice new ways of communicating, manage mood changes, and work through the decisions that come with separation and changing family roles.
She approaches planning as a collaborative process. Together with each person she clarifies short-term goals and checks progress each week. That might mean practicing a new boundary at work, trying a communication exercise with a partner, or experimenting with routines that lift mood.
Sessions are meant to fit into everyday life. Folashade recommends realistic steps people can test between meetings and adjusts plans when something does not work. She does not accept international clients at this time and works from Illinois under her LCSW credential.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Folashade uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. One common approach she applies looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then tests small behavioral changes to reduce depressive symptoms and low mood. This method helps with mood disorders, low self-esteem, and motivation problems.Another approach focuses on communication skills and problem-solving. It breaks down interactions into concrete steps people can practice, which supports handling workplace conflicts, relationship stress, and family disagreements. These techniques emphasize short, repeatable exercises rather than long theory sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Folashade will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, comfort, and daily routines. She checks what is working and adapts the plan as needed so sessions stay practical and focused on measurable progress.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins on small changes between appointments. They also allow therapists and clients to use tools like screen-shared worksheets or brief audio check-ins when helpful.
