About Anedtra

Anedtra Haynes-Thompson is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. She centers therapy on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name difficult feelings, explore relationship patterns, and address life transitions.

Background and approach

Her background includes supporting clients facing trauma and abuse, anger and stress, anxiety and depression, addictions, grief, intimacy concerns, career and parenting challenges, and issues tied to self-esteem and motivation.

Her practice draws on Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, Client-Centered care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Anedtra also works with concerns like ADHD, abandonment and attachment wounds, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, body image, and communication or control issues.

She accepts international clients and offers a variety of online session formats to fit different schedules, encouraging people to take the first step toward change by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions when ready.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of different parts that carry feelings, beliefs, and memories; the approach helps people notice and reframe internal dynamics to reduce self-criticism and heal from trauma. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals, often helping with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns shape current bonds and communication, offering pathways to repair trust and improve intimacy and connection.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and this therapist collaborates with each person to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are tailored and adjusted over time so clients can try strategies and see what resonates.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit counseling into busy lives and different time zones. These formats support continuity of care and provide multiple ways to engage with licensed professionals and therapists based on comfort and schedule.
