Candace Johnson, LPC

Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy issues, self-esteem concerns, depression, addictions, and relationship challenges including jealousy. She brings 15 years of experience working with adults navigating life changes, career stress, caregiver strain, and trauma and abuse. Her approach aims to be straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn right away.

Candace trained with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. She completed clinical placements that included psychiatric assessment and crisis work in hospital settings. That background shaped her comfort with high-stress situations and safety-focused decision making.

In sessions she draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness skills and Emotionally-Focused ideas are added when helpful for emotion regulation and improving connection.

Candace prefers to tailor techniques to the person in front of her rather than follow one script. She listens for what matters most to each client and then tries practical steps that fit daily life. Expect clear goals, gentle challenge, and tools to practice between sessions.

People often come to her for help with communication problems, codependency, caregiver stress, body image, and recovering from separation or domestic violence. She also supports those coping with emptiness, guilt, forgiveness, and finding a renewed sense of life purpose.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and building a working relationship. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on understanding what matters to the person and setting collaborative goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. In online work CBT often includes homework, worksheets, and short practical exercises to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and then use that awareness to change how they relate to themselves and others. Online EFT sessions guide emotion-focused conversations and skills for managing intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and daily life to choose or blend methods that fit. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.

Please confirm specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit a session into a busy day. It can also permit shorter check-ins or audio-only meetings when video is difficult, and supports using worksheets and guided exercises between sessions to reinforce progress.
