About Candace
Candace Coston, LCSW, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and the strain of major life changes. She also supports those facing addiction, relationship or intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. Candace writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Candace draws on her social work training to learn what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She asks about values, what brings joy, and the goals someone wants to reach. From there she works with clients to build clear, achievable steps toward those goals. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with attention to both feelings and everyday routines.
Her clinical approach mixes cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness, acceptance and commitment strategies, and dialectical behavior skills. That means she helps people notice thoughts and feelings, test unhelpful thinking, and practice new behavior in small, manageable steps. Mindfulness skills and acceptance strategies are used to reduce reactivity and strengthen coping.
Candace keeps things concrete. Clients can expect homework that ties directly to real life, skill practice in session, and check-ins on progress toward stated goals. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful for day-to-day challenges.
She is a licensed clinical social worker practicing from North Carolina. Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on what fits a person's needs.

Practical approaches you can use online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It breaks problems into small parts and offers concrete exercises for day-to-day situations, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger management.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action. It helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings, and take steps aligned with their values to build a meaningful life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, everyday routines, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust those methods over time in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or on a short break. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or when typing feels more comfortable than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on goals between appointments.
