About Fulisha
Fulisha Burks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also pays attention to caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, loneliness, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, self-love, women's issues, and workplace concerns.
Her background includes work across healthcare and community settings. She has supported people in hospice and end-of-life care and worked with those managing chronic conditions and addiction. That variety gives her practical perspective on everyday pressures like bills, jobs, relationships, and health problems.
In sessions she uses client-centered approaches to keep conversations focused on the person and their goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns that affect mood and behavior. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and coping during distress.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-minded. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice new behavior, and try skills between meetings. Work often includes planning for daily routines, managing stressors, and handling difficult interactions at work or home.
Fulisha combines clinical practice with life coaching perspectives when people want practical next steps. Her style is direct and rooted in everyday life. She works in English and is licensed in Illinois.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Fulisha uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's priorities and goals. That approach means sessions emphasize listening, clarification, and collaborative planning to address everyday stresses and relationship or work concerns.She applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thought patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. CBT sessions tend to include practical exercises and homework so clients can try new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when stronger emotion regulation strategies are needed. DBT techniques offer step-by-step tools for tolerating distress, reducing reactivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
Deciding which approach or mix of approaches to use is collaborative. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in day-to-day settings and follow up on homework between meetings.
