Candice aims for a straightforward, compassionate way of working and focuses on building on each person's strengths. She has eight years of experience in mental health and several years working closely with people facing substance use challenges.

Her background gives her familiarity with how co-occurring issues can affect daily life. Candice earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. She brings interest in people’s stories to her counseling work and uses that perspective to understand what matters to each client. Her typical approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies. Sessions focus on simple skills you can use between meetings, clear goals, and small steps toward change. She adapts techniques to fit what a person needs rather than forcing one way of working. Candice emphasizes a nonjudgmental style and respectful collaboration.

Her aim is to help people recognize strengths and take manageable steps toward the life they want.

How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness-based strategies train attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and build steadier coping with strong emotions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then tailor methods from ACT, CBT, and mindfulness. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to real needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find phone or video sessions let them practice skills between meetings and apply strategies in their daily routine. Ask about the exact session options when you start so arrangements fit your needs.
