About Anedtra

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Oklahoma with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults around relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. Her practice also addresses stress, anxiety, grief, addictions, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, career challenges, and family of origin patterns.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice how past family roles and expectations still affect daily life. Sessions focus on identifying recurring patterns, improving communication, and building practical skills to respond differently. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and commit to value-based action.

Anedtra also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to look at how early relationships shape current emotional responses. That work often includes mapping how attachment patterns show up in adult relationships and parenting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.

Her style is direct and problem-focused. She helps people set clear goals and practices to try between sessions. Conversations are practical and aim to make small, steady changes that add up over time.

People seeking help with abandonment, adoption or foster care issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication problems will find these topics addressed in her practice. Sessions also cover ADHD-related coping, commitment worries, and managing life transitions.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with personal values. It is useful when someone wants to move past avoidance and take practical steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns that keep problems going. It can help with anxiety, depression, and behavior changes by using concrete tools and homework assignments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences with the client and decide together which methods to try first. That collaborative planning makes it easier to adjust if something is not working as hoped.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce travel time so a person can use a break at work. Licensed professionals typically adapt exercises, worksheets, and skills training to the session format so progress continues between meetings.
