Background and approach
Her background spans 16 years of clinical work in North Carolina. That experience includes supporting people through trauma, life transitions, caregiver strain, and chronic illness. She brings experience with a wide range of concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and coping after disasters.
In practice she draws on several approaches to fit different needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity.
Client-centered methods prioritize the person’s goals and sense of control. Candice also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and Motivational Interviewing to support changes like reducing substance use or improving self-care. The work is collaborative and goal-focused.
People leave sessions with concrete steps to try between meetings.
Approaches and online therapy options
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s needs and goals first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and helping people decide what changes matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical exercises to break unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and choose them together with each client based on their goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time if something isn’t working as hoped.
Online therapy is offered through several formats to fit different needs. Video calls allow a fuller face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to have brief check-ins, share updates, or get coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other demands.
