About
About Adele
Adele Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and anger. Adele also supports people dealing with addictions, parenting strain, career concerns, ADHD, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Adele uses straightforward methods in session. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build practical skills. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to spot small changes that make a measurable difference in day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness techniques are introduced to help with emotional regulation and staying present during stressful moments.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through recent struggles, try brief exercises, and set small tasks to practice between meetings. Adele emphasizes building a working relationship so clients can apply new tools outside sessions.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Counseling from Webster University with a concentration in Professional Mental Health. The LPC credential is presented as Licensed Professional Counselor and reflects state-level licensure in South Carolina.
Adele frames therapy as practical problem solving. She helps people reduce reactivity, manage workplace frustration, repair tense interactions, and handle grief or life changes with clearer coping steps. People looking to address anger or stress will find an approach focused on skills, short-term planning, and steady progress.
How sessions work
How Adele uses CBT, mindfulness and solution-focused work online
Adele commonly brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into sessions to help people spot patterns of thought that increase anger or anxiety. CBT sessions focus on recognizing those patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce reactivity and improve coping.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify immediate, achievable goals. That method is useful when someone wants quick, practical steps to interrupt a cycle of snapping at others or piling on resentments. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help slow down strong emotions and improve attention to the present moment.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative work. Adele will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together which skills to practice between sessions.
