About Adele
Adele Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting concerns, and life changes. She draws on five years of clinical experience to support people struggling with addictions, anger, self-esteem, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Adele also addresses ADHD, feelings of emptiness, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and career direction.
Her style is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside mindfulness practices to reduce worry and build coping habits. Adele earned a Master of Arts in Counseling with a concentration in Professional Mental Health from Webster University. She holds the LPC credential and has worked in individual, group, and family formats earlier in her career.
That varied experience informs how she structures sessions and plans interventions. In a typical meeting she listens for what matters most, offers concrete strategies, and helps set short-term goals. Homework might include simple behavioral experiments, thought records, or brief mindfulness exercises.
The aim is to create steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. People who choose her often want straightforward support for everyday struggles. She helps parents navigate parenting stress and supports people dealing with trauma, recovery from addiction, or adjustment after big life events.

How Adele's Approaches Work Online
Adele uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT often includes short exercises between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness and breathing practices that calm strong emotions and increase focus. These techniques can be practiced in brief moments during a busy day and reinforced in sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Adele will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. She adjusts tools over time so therapy stays relevant to what matters most to the client.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people work through material face to face when convenient. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, coaching between meetings, or moments when typing feels easier than speaking.
These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a workday, a childcare routine, or a busy schedule while using the same CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques that guide in-person work.
