About Nadirah
Nadirah Burris is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a decade of experience in counseling. She frames mental health as a practical priority and talks plainly about making small, realistic changes. Nadirah invites people to consider whether their goals feel doable and to take an active role in caring for their mind.
She has worked in schools, rehab facilities, and agencies. That variety gives her a broad view of how stress and life demands show up. She helps people sort through problems like anxiety, depression, addiction, and compassion fatigue using clear, goal-focused conversations.
Her approach emphasizes realistic expectations and practical steps. Sessions focus on finding achievable goals and building habits that fit daily life. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness to reduce unhelpful thoughts and increase purposeful action.
Nadirah also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, ADHD, and aftermath from trauma or other crises. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is listed among areas she pays attention to when it affects someone’s life and routines.
She encourages a proactive stance toward mental health instead of waiting until problems grow. Conversations aim to clarify priorities, identify small changes, and keep progress manageable. The work is collaborative and focused on practical solutions that fit the person's life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Nadirah often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses Client-Centered and mindfulness-influenced practices to create space for the person’s experience. Client-Centered methods prioritize listening and supporting the client’s own problem-solving. Mindfulness techniques help with grounding, reducing reactivity, and building small habits for daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to test strategies and adjust them based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide what methods to try and when to change course.
