Anedtra Haynes-Thompson , LPC

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who uses practical talk and collaborative planning to help people facing relationship and life challenges. She draws on 14 years of experience to guide clients through issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aiming to make the first steps feel manageable.

Anedtra focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem difficulties. She also supports people dealing with addiction, parenting strain, career transitions, intimacy-related issues, and ADHD. Her background includes work with abandonment, attachment issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she combines approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That means conversations about values and coping skills, practical behavior strategies, emotion regulation, and an emphasis on the client’s own goals. She keeps explanations clear and action-oriented so people can try things between sessions.

Anedtra aims to create an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings are welcomed. She encourages small steps and measurable progress while adapting pace to each person. Many clients use therapy to manage day-to-day stress, repair relationships, or rebuild confidence.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging for ongoing contact and coaching.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed actions toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It often includes homework and step-by-step skills practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can aid intimacy and trust issues.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and responses to early sessions. Together they decide whether to emphasize values work, behavioral experiments, emotion regulation, or relationship-focused work depending on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are good for deeper sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief coaching, reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy life while keeping treatment consistent and practical.
