She also helps with grief, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and life transitions.

Candice blends several therapy styles rather than relying on one method. She draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and trauma-focused care to shape a plan that fits each person. Sessions aim to identify concrete goals and practical steps toward them.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Community Counseling. Candice has been licensed since 1999 and has practiced across different regions of the United States while living in the Midwest.
Expect a collaborative process where the client sets priorities and Candice helps design a plan of action. She describes her style as open and honest, offering compassionate, nonjudgmental support as people work through hard topics.
Outside of work she enjoys reading and golf, and shares her home with two fur pets.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday habits that get in the way of feeling well.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and emotional responses. It can be useful when relationship patterns, family of origin issues, or attachment concerns are part of the problem.
Finding the right method is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which approaches fit best. That choice is guided by the client's goals, needs, and preferences rather than a single fixed method.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. It also lets people meet with licensed professionals from other locations, which can be helpful for those who have moved or travel frequently.
