About Kandace

Kandace Perryman, LCMHC, helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family challenges, grief, parenting concerns, intimacy issues, ADHD, and other life changes.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience she guides clients through painful or confusing moments to uncover strengths and values that may feel buried beneath overwhelming emotions. Her work addresses both immediate coping needs and longer-term patterns affecting self-esteem, anger, depression, and relational difficulties.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered techniques and emotion-focused methods, drawing on Gottman and Imago ideas for relationship work when appropriate. Kandace frames therapy as a collaborative exploration: she listens for each person’s unique priorities and then offers practical strategies alongside reflective inquiry.

She also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, body image, perinatal mood struggles, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse. Based in North Carolina and licensed as LCMHC 4873, she conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients via online formats.

Kandace emphasizes accessible, client-tailored care that matches therapeutic tools to the goals a person brings to the room.

How Kandace’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy



Kandace draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to teach concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT typically involves collaborative goal setting and practical exercises that translate well to remote work. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and validating a person’s experience to create a supportive space for exploring life transitions and identity concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kandace treats that decision as a collaborative process. She will work with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then tailor techniques from CBT, client-centered work, or relational methods as appropriate to find the best fit over time.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats let clients schedule work around daily responsibilities, continue care during relocations, and use brief check-ins or longer sessions depending on what best supports progress.
