Candace Johnson, LPC

Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports people facing family conflict, caregiver strain, body image struggles, and life changes like divorce or a midlife crisis. Her work often includes helping people find clearer direction at work and cope with feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Candace draws on 15 years of experience in the mental health field and uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and adapts techniques to each person's needs. That means some people will work on thoughts and behaviors, while others practice emotional awareness or motivational strategies to move forward.

Her clinical background includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and psychiatric practicum experience that involved assessments, crisis intervention, and leading psychoeducational groups. That inpatient and emergency setting work has informed how she approaches safety, crisis moments, and goal-focused care.

In sessions clients can expect a mix of talking, skill practice, and mindful awareness exercises tailored to their situation. She often uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing depending on the concern.

Candace works in Georgia and conducts therapy in English. If you want to start, follow the site’s Start Therapy steps to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps the client find their own solutions; this approach supports issues like self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and some forms of addiction-related habits.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions, and then use that awareness to change how they relate to themselves and others. It is useful when emotions get in the way of connection or decision making.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That way the plan reflects the client's preferences and the problems they want to solve.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats offered before booking since they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets the therapist use worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and motivational coaching in ways that match a client's routine.
