About Candance
Candance Hammonds is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 20 years in the mental health field and 17 years as a licensed counselor to sessions. She helps people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and parenting challenges.
She also supports those coping with trauma, adoption and foster care concerns, and life transitions. Her sessions focus on clear goals people can use in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and centered on the client’s needs. She uses questions and reflection to help people recognize patterns and try new strategies. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
She pairs that with a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s priorities first. Mindfulness practices and trauma-focused strategies are used when they fit the goal. Candance has worked with adolescents and adults across a range of issues including grief, intimacy-related problems, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She also helps people dealing with family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and infertility stressors. Expect sessions that move toward measurable changes at a steady pace. She aims to build trust and practical skills, and to help people feel more in control of reactions and daily challenges.
Her style is direct, supportive, and solution-minded.

How these approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and goals by listening closely and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through feelings and decide what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, depression, and everyday stressors.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and strengthen focus. These techniques are often paired with other work to manage strong emotions and improve self-awareness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with the client to choose or combine methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. Clients help shape the pace and focus of treatment as they go.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues and do deeper conversational work. Phone can fit into a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options help people fit counseling into work, school, and family life.
