About Candace
Candace Alvor is a licensed clinical social worker with seven years of experience helping people through life changes and emotional challenges. She approaches therapy with a practical, down-to-earth style and a focus on what clients want to achieve. Candace is based in Utah and offers sessions in English, including to some international clients.

Background and approach
She also supports those facing grief, addictions, parenting strain, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Candace uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting relationship and to center each person’s goals. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, practical steps that move people forward. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. Sessions often include straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and small homework tasks clients can try between meetings.
Candace also respects people’s spiritual values when those are important to their goals. People who choose her often want clear guidance and skills they can use day to day. She aims to be steady and reliable, listening first and then working with clients to create manageable plans.
The result is therapy that feels useful and grounded in real life.

How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, respectful relationship where the client’s goals guide each session. This approach helps when people want someone who listens and responds to their personal values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking that keep stress, anxiety, or anger going and tests small behavior changes to see what helps. It is useful for people wanting practical tools to manage mood and reactions.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what is working and on small, doable steps toward the client’s goals. It’s a good fit for people who want clear short-term plans and measurable progress.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs, try different methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients often mix approaches as issues and goals evolve.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let you use face-to-face interaction, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options increase flexibility and help people keep momentum with their work.
