Dr. Candace Body, LPC

Dr. Candace Body is a Georgia-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns. She brings a calm, practical approach and focuses on the day-to-day changes that make life more manageable. Her style aims to make therapy feel like a real, working partnership.

Dr. Body has spent two decades in clinical settings supporting people with ADHD-related behaviors, depression, and trauma. She has experience doing both individual and group work in community mental health centers and group homes. That background shapes how she balances short-term goals with longer-term healing.

In sessions she draws on a mix of approaches rather than a single recipe. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with clearer thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical changes that add up. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple ways to slow down and respond rather than react.

Her work often touches on family-of-origin issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, and parenting strains. She also supports people handling grief, life transitions, and career-related stress.

Dr. Body emphasizes honesty, clear communication, and shared effort in the therapeutic relationship. She invites clients to set goals together and to track progress in concrete ways. If someone wants a straightforward, experienced clinician who mixes practical skills with attentive listening, she may be a fit.

How these approaches can work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's goals, and it helps people feel heard while they work through hard moments. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.

If you prefer online sessions, check what formats this therapist currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises and CBT worksheets between sessions to practice new skills in daily life.
