About Anedtra
Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She draws on 14 years of experience to help people facing relationship problems, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, and life transitions. Her approach aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
Anedtra emphasizes creating an open space where clients can talk through painful feelings. She focuses on what matters to each person and helps them identify small, practical changes.
How Anedtra works
Sessions are intended to feel direct and compassionate rather than clinical or distant. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs, including acceptance and commitment techniques, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. Those methods are applied to concerns such as grief, addiction, parenting strains, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Anedtra also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment difficulties, and body image or codependency struggles. She works with individuals coping with major life events, ADHD-related challenges, and the emotional impact of caregiving or aging. The practical side of her work includes coaching around goals, building tolerance for strong emotions, and improving communication.
She encourages steady progress and helps clients try new ways of coping between sessions. If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through the initial steps toward scheduling and building a plan.

Online support options
Approach-driven care available online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making values-based changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect present relationships and helps people build healthier ways of relating. That approach is often helpful for intimacy issues, commitment concerns, and attachment problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, giving people space to lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist reflects and supports their choices.Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences. This might mean blending ACT skills with cognitive-behavioral techniques or drawing on attachment ideas when relationship themes come up. The plan evolves based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between meetings or use shorter exchanges when a full session is not possible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
