Background and approach

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. She breaks problems into manageable steps and helps people try new ways of thinking and acting. Conversations are direct, with simple exercises to practice between meetings.

Adele pays attention to how anxiety shows up in day-to-day life, including social anxiety, feelings of emptiness, and difficulty with focus or motivation. She also addresses relationship stress, parenting concerns, anger, and career pressures. The aim is to help people regain a sense of control and purpose.

A typical meeting includes checking current problems, practicing a tool or strategy, and setting a small homework task. Progress is tracked in short, achievable goals. Adele emphasizes respect, nonjudgmental listening, and clear steps forward.

How approaches like CBT and mindfulness work online

Adele uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep anxiety and low mood going. CBT sessions often include specific exercises and short tasks to try between meetings to test new ways of thinking.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple awareness and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity to stress and can be useful for social anxiety, feeling empty, or managing strong emotions.

Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her work too, focusing on small, practical steps that move someone toward clearer goals. These brief, action-oriented conversations can quickly produce manageable changes in daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Adele works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan as therapy moves forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility for those balancing work, school, or caregiving. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual communication. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter, on-the-go check-ins and written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into a busy life.
