Anedtra Haynes-Thompson, LPC

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles. Her style aims to make beginning therapy easier and less intimidating for those who are worried about taking the first step.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk openly about thoughts and feelings. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills and clearer communication. Approaches she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.

Over her career she has supported people dealing with grief, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, and life transitions. She also works with issues related to adoption and foster care, abandonment, and aging and geriatric issues. Her work often addresses persistent patterns such as codependency, attachment difficulties, and avoidance that make relationships and daily life harder.

Anedtra blends talk therapy with skills practice so clients can try out new ways of coping between sessions. She encourages collaboration on goals and checks progress along the way. The practical focus helps people develop tools for managing stress, setting boundaries, and improving emotional regulation.

Therapy is offered in English and is open to people inside and outside the United States. Prospective clients are invited to start by completing the platform questionnaire and scheduling a session to discuss goals and fit.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward what matters most, while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build new ways of relating and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anedtra will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then recommend methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and different skills are tested.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a tight schedule, and make it simpler to continue care during relocations. Licensed professionals can still guide skills practice, process difficult experiences, and set concrete goals in remote sessions. Ask about the format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions align with your routine and needs.
