About Candace

Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to slow down reactivity and build steady presence in hard moments. She also works in a client-centered way, listening first and tailoring goals to each person’s needs. Narrative approaches help people reframe their stories, and motivational interviewing supports small changes that add up over time.
Together these methods target issues such as anger, ADHD-related impulsivity, caregiving stress, and compassion fatigue. Candace has 11 years of experience and holds the LCMHC credential. She practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English.
Her background includes helping people cope with trauma and abuse, chronic illness, career pressure, and the complicated feelings that follow divorce or separation. Practical options for working with her include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaching practical steps to change them. It often helps with anger, anxiety, depression, and recurring negative patterns.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without acting on them. This can reduce reactivity and help people stay calmer during stressful moments.
Candace works collaboratively to find the best approach for each person. She will listen, set goals together, and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. If something isn’t helpful, she will adjust the plan so the work feels useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option when video isn’t possible. Live chat or messaging can serve as brief check-ins or ongoing written work between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility for busy routines, caregiving demands, and people who prefer not to travel.
