Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, and career transitions.

Background and approach

With 15 years in the mental health field, she draws on broad clinical experience that includes inpatient psychiatric care, crisis intervention, and behavioral health coordination. Candace’s background also includes work with children, adolescents, young adults, and general adults, and she brings attention to issues such as compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, body image, codependency, and midlife concerns.

Her clinical approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused methods, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas when appropriate. Candace emphasizes adapting techniques to fit each person’s specific symptoms and goals, and she prioritizes developing a genuine therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

Her training includes a master’s degree in clinical psychology and practicum experience conducting psychiatric assessments and crisis work in a hospital setting. Candace works in English and offers a range of remote session formats to accommodate different needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Clients will encounter approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses and attachment patterns, often helping with relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work she offers. The therapist will explore a client's goals, symptoms, and preferences together with them and adjust methods over time so the chosen strategies feel useful and practical for everyday life.

Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular sessions during busy periods or life changes, and they allow licensed professionals to deliver structured therapeutic tools and support without requiring in-person visits.
