Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Care
Fulisha Burks draws from approaches that are well-suited to online therapy and can be adapted to what a client is going through. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions, stressors, and life transitions at their own pace, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, grief, and self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, practical approach that helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping skills. It is often used for stress, depression, and anxiety, especially when clients want tools they can apply in daily life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Fulisha collaborates with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adjusts the pace and tools accordingly so the work feels relevant and doable.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or to stay consistent during demanding seasons.
