About Mary
Mary Beth Adams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a decade of clinical experience who blends evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, client-centered stance.

Mary Beth frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at insight, skill development, and sustainable change.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship challenges, grief, addiction, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also works with issues related to parenting, career transitions, intimacy, sleep, chronic illness and pain, attachment and blended family dynamics, aging-related matters, and other complex presentations.
Mary Beth integrates faith-based perspectives for clients who request them, combining biblical principles with clinical methods to support emotional and spiritual well-being. Based in South Carolina, she offers remote sessions for adults and focuses on creating a respectful, empathic therapeutic relationship where clients set goals and move at their own pace.
Integrating proven approaches for online healing
Mary Beth commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors using practical techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. ACT encourages clients to clarify values and take committed action while developing psychological flexibility, a useful fit for people coping with chronic difficulty, grief, or ongoing life transitions.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist listens to each client’s goals, preferences, and life context and adjusts methods accordingly, combining skill-building, mindfulness practices, and supportive exploration so the plan fits the person's needs rather than forcing a single model.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes and let clients engage in therapy in ways that match their communication style and routine.
