About Anedtra

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who draws on 14 years of clinical experience to support people facing a broad range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She blends practical, evidence-informed interventions with a warm, client-centered stance to address concerns such as relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and career or parenting stress. Her approach emphasizes helping clients articulate goals and develop tools for coping with change and improving daily functioning.

Clients can expect a collaborative environment where thoughts and feelings are welcomed without judgment and therapeutic work proceeds at a pace that fits individual needs. Anedtra also brings experience with intimacy-related issues, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and complex family dynamics including adoption, blended families, and caregiver stress.

She encourages people to acknowledge the courage involved in starting therapy and supports them through each step of the process toward clearer priorities and more effective coping strategies.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change problematic habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and build psychological flexibility by combining mindfulness with committed action toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relational patterns and their impact on present-day relationships, aiming to improve connection and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work; the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans can draw from CBT, ACT, attachment-informed techniques, DBT skills, or a client-centered stance as appropriate, and decisions are revisited as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase convenience and accessibility for varied schedules and locations. These formats support continuity of care by allowing clients to connect from different places while working on skill-building, emotional coping, and relationship patterns with a licensed professional.
