Candace Coston, LCSW

Candace Coston, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, and challenges such as ADHD and bipolar symptoms. Her tone is practical and goal-focused, aimed at people who want clear steps forward.

Candace begins by learning what brings someone meaning and joy. She uses that information to clarify values and goals. Then she helps people pick realistic steps that move them toward the life they want.

Her work draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, client-centered listening, and mindfulness practices. She blends these methods to match each person’s needs rather than using a single formula.

Candace trained in social work, earning a Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina in Wilmington. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and has clinical experience across a range of behavioral health settings.

Sessions focus on practical skills, values-based planning, and everyday coping tools. People who want straightforward conversation, concrete techniques, and collaborative goal-setting may find this approach helpful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It often targets anxiety, depression, and motivation struggles by combining action with mindful awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors. It provides practical exercises for mood, sleep, and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and day-to-day needs. That plan can change as progress is made, with ongoing discussion about what helps and what doesn’t.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use mindfulness and behavioral exercises at home between appointments. If you want to know which session types are available, check the platform’s scheduling details when you start the matching process.
