How Adele’s approaches translate to online work
Online therapy with Adele draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice calm, present-moment skills. CBT focuses on spotting patterns in thinking and behavior and testing small changes to see what helps. Mindfulness techniques teach simple grounding and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.Solution-Focused Therapy is also part of her toolbox and centers on identifying clear, achievable goals and the small steps that lead there. This approach is goal oriented and useful when someone wants concrete changes in a shorter time frame. Adele will talk with each person about which approaches feel most helpful and tailor the work to the client's goals and preferences in a collaborative way.
