About Candace

Candace Delis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Lakeland University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Candace aims to make sessions feel comfortable and approachable, meeting people where they are without judgment.

Her style is straightforward and interactive, and she works to be relatable while offering practical support.

Background and approach

Candace has experience in crisis intervention and group therapy settings, and she blends several therapy methods to match each person’s needs. She focuses on emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, relationship skills, and self-esteem work. She also supports people facing addiction, trauma, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she emphasizes individual strengths rather than labels. Conversations are collaborative and tailored to real-life goals. Candace uses cognitive-behavioral techniques, client-centered listening, and solution-focused planning to help people build tools for change.

Outside of work she balances family life in Wisconsin with an active household that includes rescue dogs, adopted cats, chickens, and goats. That down-to-earth perspective informs her practical, no-nonsense approach to therapy. Parents and caregivers looking for help with relationship or family-related stress may find her direct, warm style useful.

Candace works with concerns commonly listed under Family and parenting and offers multiple formats for remote sessions to fit busy schedules.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and change the actions that follow. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and emotional regulation by teaching concrete skills to shift patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist offers acceptance, empathy, and space to explore feelings, which supports self-esteem building and relationship work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Candace will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative so clients help shape the focus and pacing of sessions.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to make support easier to fit into a busy life. These formats allow regular contact, quick check-ins, and flexible scheduling across days of the week. For many people, remote sessions reduce travel time and make it simpler to maintain continuity while managing family and work obligations.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
