About Aquita
Aquita Burrus is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with eight years of practice. She focuses on understanding each person as a whole - body, mind, spirit, and relationships - and works with clients to build practical ways to cope and heal. Burrus listens for personal strengths and uses therapy tools that fit the person.
She blends talk therapy with mindfulness and movement between thoughts and feelings. Her approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman Method where relevant to the client's goals.
Background and approach
She often helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, or depression. She also supports those facing grief, trauma and abuse, or big life changes. Burrus pays attention to how guilt, shame, and trouble with communication affect daily life.
Caregiver stress and questions about life purpose are also within her focus. Sessions can include skills for managing panic attacks, mood issues, and post-traumatic stress, along with work to rebuild self-love and forgiveness. Burrus aims to be respectful of each person’s beliefs and traditions and does not impose her own.
She works with clients to shape a clear plan and practical steps. The intention is to help people find creativity and courage to address pain and move toward change.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Gottman Method centers on improving communication and connection through clear, concrete skills. Online sessions can use these techniques to practice conversation patterns and build small rituals that reduce conflict and increase understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. In remote sessions a therapist and client can use worksheets, behavioral assignments, and guided homework to change patterns between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. These skills work well in online formats where therapists can introduce step-by-step practices and coach clients through them in real time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Together they adjust the plan if something does not fit or newer needs appear.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and situations. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, live chat is good for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills in daily life and keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
