About Anedtra

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is an LPC with 14 years of experience who uses client-centered care to help people facing relationship stress and emotional distress. She encourages honest conversation and steady progress, and she aims to make the first step feel reachable for someone who is worried or unsure.

She draws on practical approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients notice painful feelings without being overwhelmed by them. Attachment-Based work looks at how early patterns shape current relationships.

In sessions she focuses on everyday struggles such as worry, low motivation, anger, grief, and addictive behaviors. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, caregiving stress, and career or parenting pressures. The work often centers on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding confidence.

Her style is direct and warm. She creates space for people to talk honestly and to try new ways of handling hard situations. Measures of progress are concrete - better routines, fewer arguments, calmer reactions, or clearer goals.

Anedtra practices in Oklahoma and works with people in English. She accepts international clients. If you want to begin, the usual next step is to follow the site's Start Therapy flow and complete a brief matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and low motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build habits that reduce worry and improve mood.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. This work can help people improve communication, manage intimacy-related concerns, and feel more connected in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense for their goals and daily life. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can fit into busy schedules by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering sessions when being on camera isn’t preferable. Many people appreciate being able to schedule around their routine while still doing focused skills work and relational work with a licensed professional.
