About Candace
Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those dealing with addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, career changes, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions center on what the person brings in that day. She listens, asks practical questions, and offers steps people can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Candace adapts her approach to each person instead of using one fixed method. She uses a mix of methods that include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, emotionally focused ideas, client-centered work, and motivational interviewing. That means sessions can include noticing thoughts and behaviors, learning calming skills, exploring emotions in relationships, and building motivation for change.
The focus is on skills that help with daily life and decisions. Candace has 15 years of experience in mental health settings. Her background includes psychiatric practicum work and crisis intervention, and she has provided counseling in inpatient and community settings.
She draws on that experience when assessing safety and planning practical next steps. People come to her for many concerns such as caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, isolation, midlife transitions, and finding life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and provided through several online formats.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can teach techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and expressing emotions in relationships. Over video or chat, this approach can help people notice patterns in closeness and connection and practice new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick or adapt methods so sessions stay relevant and practical for daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for quicker check-ins, or text messaging for short updates and reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using the same therapeutic tools and exercises that would be used in person.
