How her approaches translate to online therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change patterns of behavior and mood. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools for everyday problems.

Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions around the person's goals and lived experience. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and supports the client in finding their own solutions and pace for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Candice will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, such as scheduling around work or caregiving duties. If you need shorter check-ins or prefer not to use video, confirm the available session options before booking. Ask about which formats are currently offered so you can choose what works best for your routine and comfort.
