About Candace
Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, codependency concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She brings 15 years of experience in mental health and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work often addresses self-esteem, depression, addiction, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
Candace uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to uncover what matters most to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and on Client-Centered approaches to make clients feel heard. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when emotions and attachment patterns shape relationship struggles.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. She completed practicum work that included psychiatric assessments, crisis intervention in emergency settings, and psychoeducational groups. That early clinical work shaped her skill at handling high-stress situations and safety concerns.
In session, she focuses on clear goals and small steps that fit into everyday life. She will work with each person to build coping skills, improve communication, and reduce overwhelm. Sessions are practical and collaborative rather than overly technical.
Candace sees adults experiencing life transitions, caregiver stress, adoption or foster-care related concerns, body-image issues, and the aftereffects of trauma or domestic violence. She offers help in English and practices in Georgia as a Licensed Professional Counselor.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's pace to help them feel understood. This approach helps people who need a calm, respectful space to sort out feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, and codependency patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding emotional responses and attachment patterns, so it can be useful when intimacy or relationship dynamics are a core concern.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on each person's goals, history, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be combined or adjusted over time.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or longer deep-dive appointments depending on scheduling needs. Ask about the specific formats offered when you match and schedule.
