About Nadirah
Nadirah Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She talks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Nadirah encourages clients to notice what matters to them and to set realistic, reachable goals for change.
Her background includes work in schools, rehabilitation facilities, and community agencies. That variety gave her experience with many life challenges, from substance use and trauma to relationship and family concerns.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how everyday pressures - jobs, bills, caregiving - affect mood and functioning. Nadirah uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and mindfulness strategies to reduce reactivity.
Sessions emphasize concrete skills, simple experiments, and short homework that fit busy lives. Clients can expect a calm, straightforward style. Nadirah helps people break large problems into small steps and build routines that support long-term change.
She also works with issues like parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, ADHD concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her aim is to help people take charge of their emotional health before problems grow larger. She invites clients to set clear goals and works alongside them to track progress.
Practical tools and steady support are central to her way of working.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about clarifying what matters most to you and taking small steps that line up with those values. It can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to calm reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment; this supports better emotional regulation and clearer decision making.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. If one way of working does not feel helpful, adjustments are made together until a good match is found.
Online therapy offers flexible options to fit busy lives. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text messaging can be used for quick check-ins, written reflections, or brief coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to use therapy around work, caregiving, or other routines while still working on anxiety, stress, and life transitions.
