Mary Beth Adams, LPC

Mary Beth Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside mindfulness and client-centered techniques. She focuses on practical steps clients can use to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. Her tone is compassionate and direct, and she works with adults 18 and up by remote sessions.

Mary Beth brings ten years of clinical experience to each session. She emphasizes short-term tools like cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation, and she pairs those with mindfulness practices to reduce worry and improve daily routine. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused so progress is easy to track.

Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, grief, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, attachment issues, aging and geriatric matters, chronic illness and pain, and body image concerns.

For people who want faith integrated into therapy, Mary Beth combines Christian principles with evidence-based methods when requested. The aim is to honor spiritual beliefs while working on thoughts, behaviors, and emotional responses that get in the way of daily functioning.

New clients start with a conversation about their story and goals. From there Mary Beth and the client build a personalized plan that blends practical strategies and emotional support for steady, sustainable change.

CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Care Online

Mary Beth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. CBT tools like cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation make day-to-day progress more visible and are often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood regulation.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values while accepting difficult feelings. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility and can be useful for stress, chronic illness, and coping with life changes. Client-centered therapy is part of her work as well, offering an empathetic space where the person’s own goals lead the process.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Mary Beth works together with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration may shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging for convenience. Video is often used for in-depth work and visual connection, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can fit quick check-ins or busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping care consistent.
