About Candice
Candice Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, and life changes. She also addresses concerns such as caregiver stress, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation.
Candice describes clients as the experts on their own stories. In sessions she helps people notice strengths they already have and use them to face difficult feelings. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to what is happening day to day.
Her approach draws on therapies that help people change how they relate to thoughts and feelings. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice painful thoughts without getting ruled by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used for skills around mood, impulsivity, and behavior change.
Candice aims to make therapy a place to practice different ways of responding. She often works on clear, manageable steps such as identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, building small habits, and trying new communication tactics. Forgiveness, self-love, and dealing with guilt or shame are addressed through these practical exercises.
Sessions also cover specific life moments like pregnancy and childbirth stress, workplace strain, and navigating purpose and loneliness. The focus is on usable skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Candice commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them control actions and helps people act according to their values. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives steps to change patterns that keep problems going.Finding the best approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. Sessions may include noticing thought habits, practicing short skills, and setting small behavior experiments to try between meetings.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people use audio-only sessions if bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Talk with the therapist about what will fit best for scheduling, session length, and whether to use video or phone.
