About Anedtra
Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting, grief, and related issues. She also lists work with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career and life changes.
Her style centers on clear, practical conversation. Sessions start with what feels most urgent. She listens to current problems and helps people notice patterns that affect daily life. The counselor uses straightforward strategies so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.
In practice she draws on several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based work. Those methods are used to help with painful memories, disruptive thoughts, and relationship patterns that carry into parenting or adult partnerships. She also references Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered techniques when emotion regulation and honest feedback are needed.
People often come for help with parenting stress, intimacy-related issues, or difficulties after loss. She guides clients through small steps they can take to feel steadier. That may include exercises for managing anger, building self-esteem, or improving communication at home.
Anedtra asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling a first session. The questionnaire helps match concerns to therapeutic priorities and makes the initial meeting more focused.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or low motivation make daily life feel stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness, which can be useful for intimacy-related stresses and parenting challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means checking what helps, adjusting techniques, and mixing elements from different approaches when useful.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove commute time so clients can use a break from work. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these conveniences to keep steady progress while matching therapy to everyday life.
