About Candice
Candice Mitchell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with seven years of experience. She focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, or past trauma. Her style is calm and steady, aimed at helping people find practical ways to feel more like themselves again.
Candice noticed early in her career how quietly distress can take over daily life. Sleep, confidence, and relationships often suffer even when someone is doing their best.
Background and approach
That led her to trauma-informed practice and a focus on helping nervous systems settle so change can happen. Intake sessions are paced with care and patience. The first meetings are about hearing what someone is carrying and noticing how stress shows up in the body and mind.
She prioritizes safety and trust before moving into deeper work. In sessions she uses accessible, hands-on approaches to reduce overwhelming reactions and increase steadiness. Progress often looks like less consuming anxiety, softer emotional responses, and better daily routines such as improved sleep or clearer boundaries.
Sessions by phone are an option she offers because some people find phone work helps them focus inward and feel less self-conscious. Candice keeps learning through ongoing training in trauma-informed care and body-focused methods. She brings that continuing education into each session while staying practical and respectful of a client’s pace and goals.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It helps people feel heard and respected while they identify what matters most and set goals for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions start with checking in on what feels urgent and then blend approaches as progress and preferences indicate.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be less demanding on bandwidth and help some people focus inward. Live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while still using approaches like client-centered work and CBT effectively.
