About Candace

Dr. Candace Body is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With two decades of professional experience, she draws on a range of methods to support clients facing depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, parenting and caregiver stress, ADHD-related challenges, and issues around self-esteem and career changes. Her practice also addresses family conflict, adoption and foster care dynamics, body image, and communication difficulties.

Her style blends client-centered values with practical, skill-focused work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and integrates mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build coping skills and move toward concrete goals.

Motivational interviewing is incorporated when clients are weighing change or seeking renewed commitment to personal goals. Dr.

Body values a collaborative therapeutic relationship that emphasizes honesty, respect, and shared effort. She has experience across residential and outpatient settings and offers care that adapts to each person’s needs and life circumstances.

Approaches that shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy places the person's experience and goals at the forefront, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help clients clarify values and make decisions. This approach works well for people seeking a supportive space to explore feelings and strengthen self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change them. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress management, and mood-related concerns because it combines clear strategies with measurable progress.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and emotions, supporting stress reduction and improved emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor a mix of techniques that fit the individual. Clients can expect to discuss what is working and adjust methods over time to maximize relevance and comfort.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different locations and to choose formats that match their schedules and communication styles. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
