About Aquita
Aquita Burrus is an LCSW who practices with a focus on practical therapy that connects mind, body, and spirit. She uses straightforward talk, listening, and structured tools to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and depression. Aquita works from North Carolina and aims to be respectful of each persons beliefs and background.
She combines several approaches to suit each persons needs. That can include cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness practices to ground attention in the present moment, and trauma-focused methods when past events keep causing distress.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped to the goals a person brings and the pace they prefer. Aquita emphasizes practical coping skills for everyday life. She helps people with panic attacks, mood problems, caregiver stress, and relationship communication issues.
She also supports people working through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her style is direct and compassionate. She listens for strengths and resources a person already has, then helps them build on those tools.
Aquita aims to create a clear plan so progress can be tracked in regular conversations. People can expect a mix of short-term strategies and deeper work depending on need. The therapist explains choices, invites feedback, and adjusts methods as work proceeds.
Taking the first step is acknowledged as courageous and the therapist offers steady support through the process.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Aquita uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, showing practical steps people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as a trauma-focused option to help lessen the emotional intensity of difficult memories when that fits a persons goals. Mindfulness therapy is used to teach attention and breathing practices that help manage stress and bring focus back to the present.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, past experiences, and current challenges, then recommend methods that match those needs. People are encouraged to give feedback so techniques can be adjusted over time, and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for a full session with visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, progress notes, or quick coping reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
