Nadirah Burris, LPC

Nadirah Burris is an LPC who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and everyday struggles with thoughts and habits. She encourages practical steps that fit real life. Her tone is direct and focused on helping people set reachable goals and protect their mental wellbeing.

She brings more than 10 years of counseling experience across schools, rehab settings, and agency work. That range gives her experience with a wide variety of life situations and practical barriers people face when seeking help.

Nadirah uses approaches that help people notice their thoughts, test them, and try new ways of responding. Sessions focus on clear goals, simple skills, and habits that can be practiced between meetings. The work often includes learning to accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most.

In sessions she aims to make expectations realistic and achievable. Conversations are straightforward and geared toward small, useful changes rather than abstract ideas. People leave with specific steps to try at home.

Her background includes supporting people with addiction, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues like abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care, and body image. Nadirah helps clients identify what they want to change and build a plan to get there.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns that keep problems going and practicing different responses to change mood and behavior.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods based on what works in real life.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day because they avoid travel and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. Others appreciate being able to use brief check-ins or more focused skills practice when needed. Discuss scheduling and session length with the therapist to choose what best fits personal needs and routines.
