About Candace

Candace Delis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who brings six years of clinical experience to her practice in Wisconsin. She trained in community counseling and frames her work around an accepting, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes practical support and collaborative problem solving.

Background and approach

Candace draws on cognitive behavioral principles alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to help people manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, bipolar mood changes, grief, and trauma while building skills for emotional regulation and healthier relationships.

Her style is interactive and down-to-earth; she aims to meet clients where they are and to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s goals.

Past roles in crisis intervention and group therapy contribute to her comfort addressing addiction, compassion fatigue, intimacy and sexual culture topics including BDSM and kink, blended family and caregiving stress, and communication or commitment difficulties. Candace also has experience with end-of-life care and supports clients coping with life transitions, parenting challenges, sleep disturbances, and self-esteem concerns.

Outside of work she shares a busy household that includes family and multiple rescue animals, and she describes herself as relatable rather than conventional. She welcomes people ready to take the step toward change and offers sessions that accommodate different schedules throughout the week.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation by teaching practical skills and strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's experience, creating a collaborative space where clients explore their values, goals, and identity at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, preferences, and goals and recommend strategies that fit your situation, adjusting methods as needed so the work remains relevant and achievable for you.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or geographic constraints and allow clients to continue care during transitions while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
