About Candance
Candance Hammonds is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. She brings 20 years in the mental health field and 17 years practicing as a licensed counselor in North Carolina. Her approach centers on practical steps and listening closely to what matters most to each person.
Her sessions tend to focus on goals the client names. She uses client-centered techniques to build a strong working relationship.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are mixed in to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors directly. Mindfulness and motivational strategies are used when they fit the client's needs. Candance has experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems.
She also works with issues like infertility stress, infidelity, narcissism, and compassion fatigue. People who struggle with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, anger, intimacy-related issues, or low self-esteem may find focused help. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Expect clear steps, reflection, and tools to try between meetings. The therapist values steady progress and tailoring methods to the person rather than using one fixed plan. Candance aims to create a dependable place to talk things through and work toward concrete changes.
She invites people to bring their real-life challenges so they can map out manageable next steps together.

How therapy approaches support you online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and adapting to each person's needs. In practice this means the therapist asks about your goals, follows your lead, and helps shape the work around what you want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers hands-on exercises and strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which ones fit your situation, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be a good option when less bandwidth is available or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make quick check-ins and written reflections possible between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different communication styles.
