About Fulisha
Fulisha Burks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and grief. She also focuses on caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, isolation, and workplace concerns.
Her background includes work in hospice and end-of-life settings and supporting people with chronic conditions and addiction histories. That experience shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Fulisha listens, then offers steps clients can try between meetings.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test different responses. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she follows a person’s concerns and priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation or distress tolerance is needed.
In sessions she breaks issues into manageable pieces. People leave with specific strategies to try, and short-term tasks to practice. She pays attention to how life circumstances like caregiving or chronic illness affect mood and choices.
Fulisha aims for clear communication about goals and progress. She helps people set small, realistic steps toward feeling better and functioning more easily day to day.
How her approaches translate to online work
Fulisha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear goals, thought records, and simple experiments to test changes in everyday routines. Client-Centered Therapy shapes how she listens and prioritizes what matters to the client, leaving space for the person to set the pace.She will work with a client to figure out which approach fits best. That choice is collaborative - based on the client’s goals, current problems, and how they prefer to work. She checks in and adjusts methods as needed rather than committing to one fixed path.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, or make shorter check-ins easier. People can arrange sessions that fit their schedule and daily demands, and the therapist and client can adapt exercises to the time available.
