About Nadirah

Nadirah Burris is an LPC with a decade of counseling experience working across schools, rehabilitation settings, and agencies in Oklahoma.

Background and approach

She encourages clients to consider mental health as a core asset worth attention alongside other life priorities, and she helps people recognize when day-to-day stressors have grown into problems that deserve support.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, parenting challenges, addiction, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship and family issues.

Drawing from approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered work, Existential perspectives, and Mindfulness techniques, she partners with clients to set realistic goals and practical steps toward change.

Burris frames therapy as a collaborative process that helps clients clarify priorities, build coping skills, and reconstruct expectations so life feels more manageable and aligned with personal values. Prospective clients traveling through transitions or facing persistent emotional or behavioral challenges will find a practitioner who emphasizes proactive care and tangible progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client work often begins with practical, action-oriented strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also used to increase psychological flexibility by helping clients clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to meaningful behavior changes. Client-Centered techniques create a supportive space in which the therapist listens closely and follows each person’s pace to build insight and self-directed growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so treatment remains aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit counseling into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care during life transitions. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing clients to engage in ways that feel most comfortable and practical while working toward clearer goals and improved coping.
