About Candice
Candice Alig is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who draws on practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage life stress and difficult emotions. She focuses on clear, actionable steps and gentle guidance so clients can feel more steady in day-to-day life. Candice practices in Kentucky and brings eight years of experience in mental health work to each session.
She has worked extensively with people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, and family or relationship conflict. Much of her work has involved substance use concerns, and she has nearly five years of focused experience with that population. That background informs how she helps people build new habits and respond differently to cravings, urges, and triggers.
Candice uses several hands-on methods in session. She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based practices and mindfulness exercises. Sessions include practical skill building - for example, managing upsetting thoughts, practicing emotion-regulation skills, and creating simple routines to reduce stress.
Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to help people spot their strengths and use those strengths to move toward the life they want. Candice works with individual clients in one-on-one settings and adapts her plan to each person’s goals and pace.
She earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. Candice approaches therapy as a collaborative process and invites clients to shape treatment around their values and needs.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness-based practices are taught as short, doable exercises that increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Sessions can change over time as needs shift, and plans are adjusted based on what is most helpful for the individual.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for short check-ins when a full session might not be needed. It also lets people practice skills in their usual routines so changes carry over into daily life.
