Anedtra Haynes-Thompson

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Oklahoma with 14 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, direct approach for people dealing with relationship strain, anger, trauma, low self-esteem, and motivation problems. She encourages a straightforward first step and acknowledges how hard it can be to begin therapy.

Her practice focuses on helping people talk through strong emotions and rebuild trust in relationships. She guides conversations about trauma, grief, addiction, and stress so clients can find clearer thinking and steadier behavior. Anger is a named focus and she works with clients to understand its triggers and develop practical ways to respond differently.

Anedtra draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and commit to small changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Attachment-based ideas inform work around closeness and trust in relationships.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can try out new skills and receive direct feedback. Over time, clients often build better emotion regulation, improved communication, and clearer life direction.

People who prefer a steady, practical style often find this helpful. She also addresses parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and other focused concerns. If you want a therapist who names the problem and works toward concrete change, she may be a good match.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, practical steps toward those values. It can help with motivation, anxiety, depression, and anger by shifting attention from avoidance to action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She will then tailor methods from these approaches so sessions match the person's needs in a collaborative way.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a quicker check-in during a work break, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer shorter audio check-ins while others choose a longer conversation with video. Talk with the therapist about what session length and style will best fit everyday life and goals.
