About Candace

Candace Alvor is an LCSW with seven years of clinical experience who integrates practical therapy with a person-focused perspective to help clients pursue spiritual, personal, and professional goals.

Background and approach

Drawing on a background shaped by both professional practice and life as a parent, she centers conversations on growth, resilience, and realistic steps toward change. Her approach values listening and consistent support as foundations for progress.

Candace combines evidence-informed techniques with a warm, collaborative stance to address concerns such as addictions, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, and career transitions. She also works with subjects including ADHD, compassion fatigue, codependency, communication problems, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, and women's issues.

Clients can expect an emphasis on clear goals and achievable strategies while keeping their values and priorities visible throughout therapy.

Online Approaches That Focus on Practical Change

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, offering an empathic listening environment where personal values and goals guide each session. This approach helps people feel heard and builds a foundation for exploring change at a comfortable pace.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and other concerns where concrete strategies and behavioral experiments can create measurable shifts.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and may blend elements of different methods to tailor work that feels most useful for each person.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for ongoing work.
