About Candace
Candace takes time to learn what brings people joy and who matters most to them. She helps identify values and personal goals, then breaks progress into small, manageable steps. Sessions emphasize clear skills and real-life strategies rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in English from Campbell University and a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. She holds an LCSW and brings four years of practice experience in outpatient behavioral work.
In therapy she uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, and Mindfulness. Those approaches are used to build coping skills for anxiety, manage intense emotions, and notice unhelpful thinking patterns.
Candace aims for a collaborative rhythm in sessions: listening first, then offering tools tailored to the client's needs. She encourages honest conversation about setbacks and adjusts plans as progress unfolds. This helps people make steady change while staying connected to what matters most to them.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles.Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthy communication. It can help when strong emotions or impulsive reactions get in the way of daily life and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different tools to see what fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs shift.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check‑ins when helpful, and remove travel time. It also allows practicing skills in familiar routines and discussing how strategies fit into everyday life. Licensed professionals tailor pacing and homework to the online setting so progress can continue even when schedules are tight.
