About Anedtra

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and substance concerns. She encourages a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

Anedtra uses practical strategies to help people build skills for everyday life. She focuses on improving communication, managing strong emotions such as anger, and boosting self-esteem. She also helps clients navigate career shifts, parenting challenges, and changes that come with major life events.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods to match each person’s needs. Sessions center on clear goals, and she works with clients to choose techniques that feel useful and realistic. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Step 3

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Anedtra often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, motivation, and coping with big life changes.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect. CBT helps break unhelpful patterns and build practical skills for mood, stress, and anger management.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Anedtra will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has helped before, then adapt methods to fit those needs. Together they shape a plan that balances skill practice with talk therapy.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can meet during a work break or between errands. Licensed professionals can use these sessions to teach coping tools, work on communication skills, and guide emotional processing in ways similar to in-person work.
