Nadirah Burris, LPC

Nadirah Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with ten years of experience in the counseling field. She speaks plainly about everyday stress and the pressures people carry, and she helps people take practical steps toward clearer goals and better daily functioning.

Her work comes from a variety of settings, including schools, rehabilitation facilities, and agencies. That mix gives her experience with both short-term struggles and longer patterns that erode well-being. She asks straightforward questions about priorities and what gets neglected when life gets busy, especially when mental health slips down the list.

Nadirah focuses on building realistic, achievable steps. She talks through goal setting, coping skills, and ways to manage anxiety, stress, depression, anger, and addictive behaviors. She also helps people who are facing parenting strain, family problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD challenges, and relationship concerns.

Her approach emphasizes practical tools and a collaborative working relationship. She draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential perspective, and mindfulness practices to tailor work to each person’s needs.

Nadirah encourages taking a proactive stance toward mental health rather than waiting until problems feel overwhelming. She helps people identify small, concrete changes that can shift daily life toward their goals and keep progress sustainable over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Nadirah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and confusion about priorities. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and understanding so clients can find their own solutions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferred pace. That collaborative process means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress occurs.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or offer alternatives when in-person visits are hard to schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered listening, and CBT to remote sessions while focusing on practical steps you can use between appointments.
