She listens first, then helps people set clear, manageable goals. She works collaboratively to build a plan that fits each person’s needs and priorities.

Background and approach
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and substance use challenges. Her approach blends several methods so sessions match what a person needs in the moment.
She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centered listening to follow a person’s lead, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when people want short-term, goal-directed work. Candice trained with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in education with a focus on community counseling.
She holds an Illinois LCPC credential and has practiced since 1999. She lives in Illinois and provides services in English. People who contact her can expect calm, direct conversation and practical steps to try between sessions.
She aims to help people feel more in control and better able to manage everyday challenges.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows your lead, listens closely, and helps you decide what matters most in sessions. It is useful when someone needs a steady, respectful space to sort through feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences, then choose methods that match. This decision is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low or a simpler conversation is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow quick check-ins, brief updates, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules while still using the therapist's chosen approaches.
