About Candice

CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking committed action, which can help with life transitions, avoidance, and low motivation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients feel heard and supported as they explore personal goals and challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to determine which methods fit best based on presenting concerns, personal goals, and comfort with different techniques, and will adjust the plan as needed over time.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions while allowing work on skills, mindfulness practices, and behavioral strategies between live sessions.
