Folashade Olatunbosun

Folashade Olatunbosun is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Illinois with 19 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Yoruba.

She focuses on straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what you want to be different. That means talking through communication problems, control issues, workplace stress, and the practical parts of separation or divorce. She also supports people working on forgiveness, managing feelings of isolation, and finding direction when life feels uncertain.

Her approach is evidence-based and goal oriented. Folashade works with clients to set realistic steps and to practice skills between sessions. Expect clear, measurable goals rather than vague promises, and concrete strategies you can use day to day.

Over nearly two decades she has worked with mood and personality concerns as well as social anxiety and issues common to young adults and women. She frames sessions around what clients report is most pressing, from self-love and confidence to navigating career and family roles.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions

Folashade works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skill-building for communication and emotion regulation, which teaches concrete ways to respond differently in tense conversations and manage mood swings. Another approach emphasizes short-term problem solving and goal setting, breaking larger life changes into clear steps and actions to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss different techniques and try methods that match the client's goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay focused and useful.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also allow sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort is a concern. Practical arrangements are agreed at the start so therapy can fit into everyday life.
