01About Surnedra
Surnedra "Nedra" Simmons uses a practical, goal-focused approach to help people move forward. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Texas with eight years of professional counseling experience. Nedra keeps sessions direct and solution-oriented so clients can work toward clear, manageable steps.
She centers conversations on what a person wants to change and builds small, realistic plans to get there. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and sleep problems.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with career questions, life changes, addiction concerns, and parenting strain. Nedra applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in simple, down-to-earth language. That means identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and trying concrete strategies between sessions.
She focuses on short-term goals and practical tools rather than long, abstract talk. Her background includes a master’s degree in School and Professional Counseling and many years working with high school students and adults. That experience shaped a direct, nonjudgmental style that aims to be honest and respectful.
She welcomes conversations about multicultural concerns, LGBTQ issues, trauma, ADHD, and social anxiety. Sessions are offered using formats that fit modern life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Nedra works with each person to set achievable steps and track progress week to week.

How online CBT and solution-focused work for you
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In practice that means spotting unhelpful thinking, testing new ideas, and trying small behavior changes that make daily life feel easier. This approach can be useful for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and low mood.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on what’s working now and what a person wants to achieve next. Sessions set clear, short-term goals and generate practical steps to reach them. It’s often helpful for people who want fast, concrete progress on specific problems like career decisions or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try techniques that fit those priorities. If something isn’t helping, she will adjust the plan together with the client to find what works better.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let therapists and clients maintain a face-to-face connection when needed. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit into work breaks or tight schedules. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in real time.
