About Candyce
Candyce Bell is an LPC, Licensed Professional Counselor, and an LCPC, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, with 10 years of direct practice experience. She holds licensure in Illinois and Missouri and has a background that includes work as a crisis, substance use, and mental health counselor. Candyce works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, LGBT issues, and coping with life changes.
She draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on clear, real-world steps rather than abstract concepts. Candyce uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns, try new responses, and manage intense emotions in daily life.
Her background includes work with people affected by physical trauma and emotional abuse. She has experience in individual and group settings from field work and community-based roles. That experience informs how she approaches crises, substance use concerns, and complex stress responses.
Candyce emphasizes collaborative work. She and the client set goals and test what helps in ordinary routines. Progress is measured in practical changes - for example improved sleep, fewer panic spells, or clearer choices about relationships and work.
People who feel stuck after a major life change often come to talk through next steps. Candyce supports adults who are questioning roles, managing loss, or trying to rebuild after difficult events. To begin, clients follow the site matching process and schedule an initial session.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Candyce works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses is brief problem-solving and skills practice, which breaks big problems into smaller, testable steps and helps with stress, anxiety, and daily coping. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed support for people who have experienced physical or emotional abuse, with emphasis on pacing, stabilizing responses, and building manageable routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust them based on what feels useful in everyday life rather than following a fixed plan.
