About Adele

Adele Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She blends practical problem-solving with evidence-informed interventions to address issues such as self-esteem struggles, anger, parenting challenges, career questions, ADHD, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Adele draws on five years of clinical experience to support clients working through social anxiety, phobias, and coping with significant changes.

Her approach centers on collaborative, goal-oriented work that emphasizes skill-building and clearer thinking. Adele commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while incorporating solution-focused strategies to highlight strengths and small steps forward.

Mindfulness techniques are also used to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. With training that includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University, she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where practical tools and empathetic listening come together to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Practical approaches for online healing and growth



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and learn concrete strategies to change behaviors and emotions. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily coping challenges. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and techniques for managing strong emotions, reducing reactivity, and improving focus; it can complement other interventions by strengthening self-regulation and acceptance skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. Goals, preferences, and life circumstances guide whether sessions draw more from CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused ideas, with adjustments over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support from home or work. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skill practice between sessions, and scheduling that adapts to busy lives, helping clients integrate therapeutic tools into everyday routines.
