About Anedtra
Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strains, trauma and abuse, anger, low motivation, and problems with self-esteem and confidence. Her work also covers stress, anxiety, addiction-related concerns, grief, parenting questions, and career or life-change stressors.
In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and clear skills. She listens to what is happening now, and helps people notice the patterns that keep them stuck. She uses a mix of approaches to teach coping skills and emotional regulation techniques that can reduce snapping, simmering resentment, or impulsive reactions.
Her background includes therapies that look at thoughts and behaviors, emotions, and attachment patterns. She helps clients learn new ways to respond in relationships and at work. Sessions include straightforward tools for managing anger, improving communication, and rebuilding confidence.
Anedtra draws on methods that encourage acceptance, change-oriented skills, and exploring how early connections affect current reactions. She works step by step to build practical strategies, such as grounding exercises, thought restructuring, and pacing difficult conversations. The aim is not to erase feelings but to give people clearer options for responding.
People who choose her often want direct, usable skills and a therapist who explains techniques plainly. To begin, the site matching process helps pair someone with her and set up a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, while helping people commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anger that comes from stuck reactions and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and reduce reactive behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for moments when strong feelings feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how you respond to different techniques, then try methods together to find what fits. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Confirm the specific session formats before you book so you know which options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during work changes or travel. Therapists and licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice for remote meetings so the work remains practical and focused on real-world situations.
