About Candice
Candice Crenshaw is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Alabama with eight years of experience. She frames therapy around each person's story and strengths, and she encourages practical steps toward feeling better. She meets people where they are and keeps language simple and direct during sessions.
She works with stress, anxiety, and depression in everyday life. Relationship and family challenges are regular topics, including parenting concerns and blended family issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people navigating grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related struggles. Candice uses a mix of approaches to fit what a person needs. She often relies on client-centered work to build trust and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors.
Elements of dialectical behavior and emotionally-focused methods are used when people need skill-building or to repair close relationships. Sessions often focus on concrete tools and small changes that add up over time. Conversations look at habits, communication patterns, and ways to manage intense emotions.
She also helps with life transitions, career questions, and finding purpose when things feel stalled. Candice is comfortable addressing multicultural concerns, adoption and foster care matters, attachment questions, and issues around identity and self-love. Her approach is collaborative - she listens first, then suggests practical steps clients can try between sessions.
Approaches and how they translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person feels heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a stable, nonjudgmental place to talk through their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete strategies to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation and distress tolerance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, preferences, and what actually helps in session. That means trying techniques, reviewing what worked, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people talk face to face when scheduling allows. Phone sessions can fit during a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and flexible around daily life.
