About Anedtra

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She uses a straightforward, supportive style to help people who are struggling with relationships, trauma, anger, low motivation, and self-esteem. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and to meet clients where they are.

Her approach combines practical talk with evidence-informed techniques. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment strategies to help people choose actions that match their values. Attachment-based ideas help when issues around closeness and trust come up.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and small steps. Conversations often include ways to manage strong emotions, rebuild confidence, and handle stress or difficult life changes. She also supports work on addiction-related patterns, grief, and career or parenting concerns.

Anedtra frames therapy as a collaborative process. She encourages clients to name what matters to them and then builds realistic plans to move forward. That can mean skills practice between sessions or checking progress week to week.

Her background includes years of direct client work addressing relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, and compassion fatigue. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and practical strategies aimed at daily life. If you are considering therapy, she invites you to take the next step toward clearer goals and better coping.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful habits and ease symptoms of anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and trust, helping people understand how past relationships affect current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions can blend techniques so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. For many people this flexibility helps maintain consistency and practice skills between sessions.
