About Anedtra

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, practical support for stress and anxiety as well as relationship and life concerns. Her approach is straightforward and calm, aimed at helping clients take the next small step forward.

She uses a mix of methods rooted in acceptance and behavioral approaches. That can mean learning skills to notice difficult thoughts without getting overwhelmed, practicing new ways to talk about needs, and taking actions that match a person’s values. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort level.

Clients often bring issues such as trauma, anger, low self-esteem, parenting strain, addiction concerns, grief, or career stress. Anedtra also works with people managing ADHD, compassion fatigue, and challenges related to attachment and abandonment. She helps people name problems, set realistic goals, and build steady routines that make daily life more manageable.

Her style is nonjudgmental and client-centered. She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. Practical tools and small experiments outside sessions are commonly used so progress shows up between appointments.

Anedtra holds an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She offers services in English and accepts international clients; session arrangements are made after a short matching process.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients build new ways of relating and feeling safer in close connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anedtra discusses goals and preferences with each person and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most helpful for the client’s situation.

Specific session formats were not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to maintain continuity of care if someone moves or travels. Licensed professionals can use the same clinical approaches online as they do in person, adapting exercises and homework so tools are useful between sessions.
