About Candace
Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. She works with individuals facing life changes, career questions, identity issues, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Her style is direct and empathetic and she aims to make sessions feel practical and manageable.
Candace uses straightforward talk therapy to help clients name problems and try simple steps that can reduce distress.
Background and approach
She draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused techniques to build stronger emotional awareness and safer ways to connect with others. Her background includes psychiatric practicum experience at a hospital where she completed assessments, crisis intervention, and psychoeducational groups.
That work helped her get comfortable with fast-moving situations and practical safety planning. The LPC credential indicates licensure as a professional counselor in Georgia. In sessions she focuses on short-term skills as well as deeper patterns that keep problems repeating.
Candace helps people practice new ways of responding to anger, repair communication, and rebuild self-esteem. She also supports those coping with adoption and foster care issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and divorce. People can expect clear goals, regular check-ins on progress, and homework that fits daily life.
The approach is collaborative: Candace and the client pick strategies together and adjust them as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replace them with more helpful reactions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting the person where they are so they can find their own answers and build confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each client to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan over time so it fits the person's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills practice and emotional check-ins. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief updates, between-session check-ins, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and make it easier to attend regularly.
