Adele Barnes, LPC

Adele Barnes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina who brings a Master's degree in Counseling from Webster University with a concentration in Professional Mental Health. She has five years of experience delivering individual, family, and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. Adele draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help people navigate anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, suicidal thoughts, self-harming behaviors, and significant life transitions.

Adele emphasizes the importance of building rapport and establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful work. She aims to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult situations and learn positive coping strategies. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, relationship challenges, addiction, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting and family dynamics, anger, career concerns, ADHD, feelings of emptiness or isolation, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia.

Throughout her work Adele focuses on practical skills and collaborative problem solving, helping individuals identify goals and move toward more manageable patterns of thinking and behavior. As a licensed counselor she supports clients in developing tools to handle life’s difficulties and to build resilience over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

In online sessions Adele Barnes applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy along with elements of Mindfulness to address a range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and practical steps forward, making it useful for clients seeking focused change and goal-directed work. Mindfulness practices encourage present-moment awareness and stress management, offering tools to reduce rumination and increase emotional regulation.

Choosing the best approach is part of the collaborative process. Adele works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques so they fit the individual’s situation. That teamwork helps determine whether a skills-based CBT plan, brief solution-focused interventions, mindfulness exercises, or a blend of methods will be most helpful.

Online therapy with Adele is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling around work, family, and other commitments, and make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of location within the state.
