About Anedtra
Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with 14 years of experience. She uses Narrative-informed work alongside other approaches to help people sort through relationship strain, trauma, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Her style is straightforward and steady, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.
She focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, career stress, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify patterns that get in the way and to build practical steps forward. In session she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what matters most. She listens for the stories people tell about themselves and helps name different perspectives that open up new choices.
Conversations are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with coping skills and behavior change. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas shape how she attends to relationships and emotions.
Narrative approaches guide exploration of life stories and meanings. People seeking therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session. Therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which gives options for how to connect.

Online session options
Online approaches that shape the work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It supports commitment to values-based actions and can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stressful situations. Narrative Therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives. It helps separate a person from their problems so new possibilities and choices can appear, which is helpful for relationship issues, trauma, and identity concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Sessions can blend methods so the plan fits each person's needs rather than following a single style.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video enables face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging offer ongoing support between meetings and can fit into busy days. These formats provide flexibility and allow people to choose what works best for their schedule and comfort.
