About Aquita

Aquita Burrus is a licensed clinical social worker who combines practical therapy skills with attention to body, mind, and spirit. She draws on eight years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. Aquita meets clients where they are and treats them with respect and compassion.

She focuses on what matters in daily life. That can mean building better ways to cope with panic or persistent low mood.

Background and approach

It can also mean working through guilt, forgiveness, or questions about life purpose. Aquita adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Aquita uses a mix of methods including cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness practices, dialectical skills, and EMDR.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior, learn new coping skills, and practice calm, present-moment awareness. EMDR may be offered as a tool when appropriate for processing traumatic memories. Her style is practical and collaborative.

She listens for strengths and helps people try small changes that add up. Sessions often include concrete tools to manage anxiety, exercises to shift unhelpful thinking, and steps to rebuild routine after loss. Aquita works with people in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.

She aims to create a space where someone who is exhausted or overwhelmed can start to feel steadier and find clearer next steps.

How EMDR, CBT, and Mindfulness translate to online therapy

Aquita commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to highlight how thoughts and actions influence mood. CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and depression.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy to teach present-moment awareness and simple attention exercises. These practices help people calm racing thoughts and respond more calmly to stressors. EMDR is offered as a tool for processing distressing memories when it fits a person's goals and readiness; it is used alongside other strategies rather than alone.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans over time to find what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay practical and focused on real-life changes.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, short check-ins work well as text messages, and live chat can suit quick updates between sessions. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
