About Anedtra
Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 14 years of experience. She practices in Oklahoma and focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, depression, and issues with anger and self-esteem. She invites clients to take the first step toward change and begins work in a calm, direct way.
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. That can include strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values, and Attachment-Based work to repair relationship patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with skills you can try between meetings. Her background includes long-term clinical work addressing grief, addiction, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and career-related concerns. She also supports people coping with life transitions, ADHD challenges, and intimacy-related difficulties.
Those with adoption, abandonment, or blended family questions may find relevant expertise in her practice. In sessions she listens first and then suggests steps that fit each person's life. Clients can expect a mix of talk, practical exercises, and behavioral experiments.
The aim is to increase coping skills, reduce distress, and strengthen connection to what matters. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging. International clients who are comfortable working in English are supported.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect people to her practice.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework. CBT often helps with anxiety, stress, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, and it can be helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together as progress unfolds.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or practicing skills between full sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it simpler to stick with regular care.
