Evidence-Informed Therapy, Designed for Online Life

Fulisha Burks draws from approaches that balance empathy with practical tools. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore what they are feeling, clarify what matters most, and build self-trust when facing stress, grief, or life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits that can fuel anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. With CBT, therapy often includes learning skills to reframe thinking and practice new responses in real situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be especially useful when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fulisha works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the pace and focus to fit their needs.

Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a format that fits everyday life. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or times when leaving home feels difficult.
