About Aquita
Aquita Burrus uses practical, relationship-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. She is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with eight years of professional experience. Her approach pays attention to each person's body, mind, spirit, and close relationships.
She aims to meet people where they are and tailor support to their needs. Burrus draws on psychotherapy and spirituality in sessions to help people find courage and creative ways to cope.
Background and approach
She listens for strengths that can be used in daily life and helps build skills for managing intense emotions and painful memories. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person's comfort. She often works with people facing caregiver strain, communication problems, guilt, and difficulties around forgiveness and self-worth.
She also supports those dealing with life purpose questions, mood disorders, panic, and post-traumatic stress. Treatment focuses on practical tools and clearer choices rather than labels. In sessions she may use strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Mindfulness practices and emotion-regulation skills are also offered to reduce reactivity and increase calm. When trauma is a central issue, she may incorporate approaches that address traumatic memories. Therapy with Burrus is adaptable to each person’s pace and goals.
She is respectful of varied beliefs and won’t impose her own views. The aim is steady progress through real, usable skills and focused conversations so people can better manage everyday life and recover from painful experiences.

Online support
Using focused approaches online to reduce symptoms and build skills
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress by teaching clear skills to test thoughts and change routines.EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when trauma or painful memories are central. It involves targeted processing of distressing memories to reduce their emotional impact and make them easier to handle in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. Together they choose or blend methods that best fit the situation and adjust the plan as work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, symptom tracking, or shorter conversations between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while still using CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, or other selected approaches.
