Background and approach
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help with emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings spike. Candice has 16 years of experience as a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina. That experience includes helping people through grief, trauma, addiction concerns, sleep and eating struggles, and career stress.
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and major life transitions. Her style is collaborative and direct. She listens first, then offers concrete steps clients can try between sessions.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to help people notice patterns and find motivation for change. Many clients come for practical coaching alongside therapy. Sessions can include behavior plans, communication practice, and short exercises to use at home.
The aim is to leave each meeting with clear next steps that fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It involves listening without judgment and shaping sessions around each person’s priorities, which helps when sorting parenting stress and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood. It offers simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and build new routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, or eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Those skills are useful during crisis moments or when strong feelings interfere with daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to try strategies, see what fits, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. That makes therapy more practical and focused on real-world change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and practice. Phone can require less bandwidth and be easier during a busy day. Chat and texting are helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and caregiving schedules.
