About Anedtra
Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She focuses on practical strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, and low self-esteem. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and affirms the courage it takes to begin therapy.
Anedtra creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through their worries. She listens for patterns in thoughts and behavior and helps people try new ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize skills that can be used between meetings, such as grounding techniques, planning tools, and communication practices. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, addiction concerns, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related challenges.
Those who want coaching-style guidance for motivation and life goals can expect a collaborative focus on steps and accountability. Clinically, she draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods. That mix is used to tailor sessions to what each person needs, whether it’s changing unhelpful thinking, practicing emotional regulation, or strengthening relationships.
Anedtra offers several online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts while focusing on values-based actions. It is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and for people trying to manage ADHD-related challenges that interfere with daily goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It often includes concrete exercises and short plans to practice between meetings, which works well when someone wants measurable progress on mood, anxiety, or routines.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and communication. It can help people understand intimacy issues, trust, and ways to connect more effectively with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then adapt methods collaboratively. That may mean trying a skill-based CBT strategy for a few sessions, then shifting to ACT exercises or attachment-focused conversations depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or help fitting therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep progress steady while balancing other commitments.
