About Candace
Candace Spicer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship problems, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps people who feel stuck because of low self-esteem, social anxiety, or struggles with communication.
Candace focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She breaks down worries into manageable parts and helps clients practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions often address forgiveness, boundary-setting, and rebuilding trust after difficult experiences.
She brings attention to how life transitions change a person’s priorities and sense of purpose. That includes support for those facing divorce, caregiving strain, shifting attachments, or broader questions about life purpose. She can talk through feelings of isolation and help untangle guilt or shame that gets in the way of moving forward.
Candace describes integrating faith-centered perspectives when that matters to a client, and she respects the values each person brings to sessions. Her style is collaborative - she works with clients to identify small goals and practical changes that fit daily life.
People who reach out should expect straightforward conversation about patterns that keep them stuck, and step-by-step work on skills for communication, mood regulation, and self-relationship. She practices in Florida and meets people in English.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Candace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. One common approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and panic, such as breathing strategies, behavioral experiments, and steps to reduce avoidance. These techniques help people practice calm responses to triggers and build confidence in everyday situations.Another strand of work addresses trauma and the effects of abuse. This involves grounding tools, processing upsetting memories at a pace the client can handle, and rebuilding trust in relationships and in oneself. The emphasis is on small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative testing helps determine whether a focus on skills, trauma processing, or relationship work is best for the client.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to maintain regular appointments and to apply skills learned in therapy directly to daily routines.
