About Anedtra
Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for anxiety and related concerns. She draws on 14 years of experience to guide people through stressful periods and relationship struggles. Her approach centers on clear conversation and steady support.
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients identify personal values and take steps that match those values.
Background and approach
She also uses attachment-informed ideas to make sense of how early relationships affect current patterns. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to say what is on their mind. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with skill-building and practical steps between meetings.
She pays attention to both emotional safety and real-world changes that make day-to-day life easier. Her work covers a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, addiction, self-esteem, anger, and career or parenting strain. She also addresses specific issues like attachment problems, adoption and foster care challenges, caregiver stress, and codependency.
The aim is to help people feel more steady and capable in daily life. Starting therapy is presented as a collaborative process. She helps people set clear goals, practice new skills, and track small gains.
The overall focus is on useful strategies that can be applied between sessions to create lasting change.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, clarify what matters most, and take small steps toward those values. It often helps with anxiety, stress, and feeling unmotivated. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify distorted thoughts and change behavior patterns that keep problems going, which is useful for worry, low mood, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current patterns, and it helps people understand and shift how they relate to others. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on symptoms, goals, and personal preferences. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone can be lower bandwidth or easier when movement is needed, live chat suits short check-ins or interim support, and messaging is helpful for ongoing reflection and brief coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady progress.Questions people ask
