How her approaches work for online sessions
Adele commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and then try small, practical changes. CBT sessions focus on concrete skills such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and planning actionable steps to reduce anxiety or depression.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Mindfulness practices tend to be short exercises you can practice between sessions to steady attention and manage stress. Solution-Focused Therapy is used for brief, goal-oriented work that highlights strengths and next steps rather than detailed history.
Choosing the right method is collaborative. Adele will review goals, try approaches, and adjust based on what helps. She checks progress regularly and switches strategies when a different technique seems more useful.
