About Nadirah
Nadirah Burris is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Nadirah also lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas. She sees these problems as common pressures that can pile up until they start to affect daily life.
Her background includes work in schools, rehab facilities, and community agencies. That variety informs how she approaches practical problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and concrete steps rather than long theory talks. She asks what parts of life are causing the most strain and what small changes might help right now.
Nadirah uses several approaches to adapt to a client's situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) looks at values and actions a person wants to live by. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's perspective at the center of planning and progress.
She encourages proactive care for mental health, comparing it to maintaining other important parts of life. Expect straightforward conversations about priorities, realistic goals, and steps to reach them. Work often includes building skills for managing stress, improving communication, and handling change.
People seeking practical, goal-oriented support in a blended household or who are dealing with parenting and family-related strain may find this approach useful. Nadirah aims to help people set achievable objectives and keep moving toward them.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and major life changes because it focuses on small, value-driven steps rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and for developing routines that reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening to the client's perspective and using that understanding to guide the work. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can mix elements from different approaches as needs change rather than sticking to a single method. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during work breaks, or reducing the need to be on camera when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can use these options to help people manage stress, parenting challenges, blended household transitions, and other practical concerns.Areas of expertise
