Prof. Angelique Burke, LPC
Somatic-informed counselor focused on relationships and resilience
About Angelique
Prof. Angelique Burke is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions.
She also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, grief, and self-esteem. Her work includes attention to ADHD, bipolar disorder, and career or life transitions. Her approach centers on the body as much as the mind.
She uses Somatic methods alongside talk-based tools to notice how feelings show up in the body.
Background and approach
That can mean tracking breath, movement, or physical sensations while talking about difficult memories and triggers. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of acting. Attachment-based ideas guide work on trust, closeness, and patterns that began in early relationships.
Sessions are client-centered, so the plan is shaped around each person’s goals and pace. Clients with complex concerns such as trauma, addiction, or overlapping health and relationship problems may find a layered approach helpful. She pays attention to identity and culture, offering care informed by social justice and queer and Black feminist perspectives when relevant.
That can change how issues like shame, abandonment, or codependency are discussed. Practical steps are a frequent feature of sessions. People leave with small experiments, grounding skills, and clearer next steps to try between meetings.
Communication skills, boundaries, and coping strategies are often part of the work.
How Somatic and Talk-Based Approaches Fit Online
Somatic work pays attention to bodily sensations and how emotions show up physically. Online sessions can guide simple body awareness, breathing, and grounding practices while talking through difficult memories or stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what kind of life they want to build; it uses exercises and values-based actions that adapt well to virtual formats.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort level. That might mean starting with talk-based CBT tools, adding somatic exercises, or shifting focus as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, keep continuity during moves, and practice skills in real-world settings between meetings. Licensed professionals can use these formats to share exercises, set between-session tasks, and check progress while respecting each person’s pace and preferences.
