Fulisha Burks

Fulisha Burks is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and trauma. She writes and talks plainly with clients so concerns are easy to name. Her approach centers on listening first and then shaping practical steps to make life more manageable.

Burks draws on eight years of experience across different settings. She has worked with children with special needs, older adults, people facing addiction, and those living with chronic illness. Her background also includes hospice and end-of-life care and work as a life coach. This range gives her a broad view of how health, loss, and daily stress intersect.

In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions and improve coping. These approaches are used in straightforward ways that match what a person needs that week.

Burks also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic pain or illness, life purpose questions, workplace stress, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She aims to help people build small, doable changes that add up over time.

Her practice is located in Illinois and she conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. To start, follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to find a convenient time.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Fulisha uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and pace. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead to set goals. It is useful when someone needs to feel heard and to build trust before trying new strategies.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people spot patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood and practice different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for handling strong emotions, reducing overwhelm, and improving relationships when stress is high.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress unfolds, and skills are taught in clear, practical steps.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins during a work break, and let people practice skills in day-to-day settings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises to work well in remote sessions and help people apply those skills between meetings.
