Adele Barnes, LPC

Adele Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina. She focuses on helping people who are facing anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship concerns, addiction challenges, parenting strain, ADHD, and issues like low self-esteem or loneliness. Adele writes plainly and aims to make conversations feel straightforward and practical.

Adele holds a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Webster University. She has five years of experience in clinical settings. Her background includes individual and group work, and she draws on approaches that emphasize clear steps and moment-to-moment coping.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and build on what already works. Mindfulness practices are included to help slow down racing thoughts and improve calmness in the moment.

Adele aims to create a nonjudgmental, respectful space where people can speak honestly. Conversations tend to focus on practical strategies and skills the client can try between sessions. She helps people develop coping tools for day-to-day life and for major changes.

Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps clients set clear goals and tracks progress over time. For someone juggling work, parenting, or big life shifts, Adele offers structured sessions with straightforward techniques to try outside therapy.

How Adele Uses CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and the behaviors that follow. CBT provides concrete exercises and homework that translate well to video or messaging formats and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Mindfulness Therapy in an online setting teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and steady mood. These exercises are short and can be practiced between sessions whether checking in by text or meeting by video.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what the client wants to see change and on building small, practical steps toward that goal. This approach is useful for setting clear goals and tracking progress during regular online check-ins.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Adele will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or challenges emerge.

Online formats allow flexible access to therapy. Video calls offer a face-to-face feel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging make brief check-ins or scheduling easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other commitments while keeping tools and exercises available between sessions.
