About Candace
Dr. Candace Body is a Georgia-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping parents manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and mood changes.
Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable. She draws on several well-established approaches to meet each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to stay present and reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Client-Centered Therapy gives space for a person to set the pace and topics that matter most. Her background includes work in community mental health and group home settings, with experience in individual and group therapy. That has included supporting people with trauma, ADHD-related behaviors, depression, and complex mood concerns.
Her work has also covered issues around adoption, blended family dynamics, postpartum mood changes, and caregiver stress. Sessions are goal-oriented and collaborative. She combines practical tools, skill-building exercises, and open conversation so parents can try new strategies between sessions.
Many people appreciate having concrete steps to use during stressful moments. Dr. Body welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different schedules and needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire links people to scheduling and the therapist’s calendar.

Approaches that fit into busy family life
Dr. Body commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when meeting with parents. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors so small changes lead to better daily routines and mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce overwhelm and help a parent respond more calmly in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, values, and day-to-day limits. Sessions may mix approaches over time so techniques can be practiced and adjusted based on what helps most.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video calls let a parent have deeper conversations and use worksheets together. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between appointments, or when a shorter touchpoint is preferred. These options increase flexibility so people can keep progress moving forward without long commutes.
