About Nadirah
Nadirah Burris is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with 10 years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, life changes, addiction concerns, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also addresses areas like abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care history, body image, caregiver stress, and communication or control problems.
Nadirah’s background includes work in schools, rehab facilities, and community agencies. She uses practical conversation to help people check their goals and expectations. She asks whether your goals are realistic and what you can reasonably change now.
In sessions she focuses on identifying concrete steps to manage daily pressures. She helps people break big problems into smaller tasks they can try between meetings. She encourages regular attention to mental health, comparing it to caring for physical possessions and fitness.
Nadirah draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, and existential questions about meaning. Those tools inform practical strategies rather than labels. She works with people to set short-term goals and track progress that feels doable.
Her style is straightforward and goal-focused. She helps people plan next steps for work, money, relationships, or recovery. For someone feeling overwhelmed by the demands of early adulthood, she aims to clarify priorities and build steady, manageable routines.
How her approaches translate to online counseling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions toward them. It helps with stress, avoidance, and feeling stuck by encouraging practical steps that match what matters to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily coping skills. Mindfulness practice involves simple attention skills to manage reactivity and strong emotions and can be used alongside ACT or CBT to slow things down.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they make a plan and try techniques, then adjust based on what actually helps in everyday life.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or school, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commuting time. Many people use online meetings to practice skills between sessions and to keep progress consistent despite a busy schedule.
