About Nadirah
Nadirah Burris is an Oklahoma Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience. She focuses on life changes and practical struggles such as stress, anxiety, parenting strains, addiction, relationship and family problems, and questions about direction and purpose.
She asks straightforward questions about how mental health fits into daily life. Nadirah points out that people often prioritize possessions and appearance over mental well-being. She encourages early attention to mental health so small problems do not grow larger.
Her background includes work in schools, rehabilitation facilities, and community agencies. That variety shapes how she works with people who feel overwhelmed by bills, job pressure, or difficult relationships. Sessions center on realistic goals and steps a person can take between meetings.
Nadirah uses practical therapies to help people clarify what matters and make changes that fit their lives. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Existential ideas, and Mindfulness techniques to address symptoms and everyday struggles.
People can expect a focus on setting achievable objectives and building everyday skills. Nadirah treats issues like trauma, anger, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue while also supporting those wrestling with abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, and caregiver stress.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person's goals lead the work.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nadirah will discuss different methods with each person and choose what fits the client's needs, goals, and preferences. She frames this as a collaborative process and adjusts tools as progress is reviewed.
