About Adrienne

Adrienne Carlisle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 21 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Adrienne also supports those dealing with ADHD, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to gender and sexuality.

Her approach is respectful and straightforward, aimed at practical steps parents and individuals can use right away. Adrienne listens closely to what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

She tailors conversations and plans to fit individual needs rather than using one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions focus on clear goals, coping strategies, and skills people can practice between meetings. The tone is compassionate but direct, with an emphasis on building confidence and calm.

Over two decades of work have given Adrienne experience with a wide range of issues including parenting, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and family tensions. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, hoarding, OCD patterns, and social anxiety. That breadth helps her recognize patterns and offer concrete tools.

Her style balances support with practical guidance. Adrienne encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change. Parents and adults who feel stuck often find relief in focused discussion and doable plans.

She aims to empower people to feel more in control of their lives. To begin, she asks clients about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she shapes a plan together that fits each person’s schedule and needs.

The goal is steady progress, not perfection.

Evidence-informed approaches for online support

Two commonly used evidence-based approaches Adrienne draws on are cognitive techniques and skills-based coaching. Cognitive techniques help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different viewpoints; these methods can reduce anxiety, depression, and negative self-talk. Skills-based coaching focuses on concrete tools like stress management, sleep routines, and communication skills that parents and adults can put into practice right away.

Another helpful approach centers on problem-solving and goal-setting. This method breaks larger worries into smaller steps, clarifies priorities, and tracks progress. It is useful for life changes, career decisions, and parenting challenges because it makes change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. These options let people connect from home, balance therapy with work and family life, and choose the format that works best for their routine.
