Candace Graves, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Candace

Candace Graves is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses relationship and family concerns in her practice. Her tone is calm and direct, aimed at parents who want clear guidance and practical steps.

She draws on 13 years of experience to help clients untangle communication problems and heal from guilt or shame. Sessions often include talking through how to reconnect with personal values and practice self-love.

Background and approach

Forgiveness and reducing isolation are common themes in her work. Candace holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential - LPC - and maintains licensure in Texas and Missouri. That background supports her work across state lines where appropriate.

She provides straightforward, empathetic support rather than quick fixes. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques with attention to personal identity and spiritual perspectives. She aims to build practical strategies that a parent can use at home, like improving daily routines and small communication practices.

Clients can expect a respectful space to speak honestly and figure out next steps. Sessions focus on realistic goals, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence. The work moves at a pace that fits each person’s situation.

Practical approaches for online family and relationship work

Candace uses evidence-based techniques that translate well to online sessions. One common method focuses on communication skills training - teaching clear, small steps to improve daily interactions and reduce conflict. This helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns or who want better ways to be heard.

Another frequent approach centers on building self-compassion and tackling guilt or shame. These exercises include guided conversations and short practices aimed at shifting harsh self-talk and reconnecting with personal values. That work supports improved self-esteem and steadier mood over time.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit the situation, and adjust as progress is made. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs and comfort level.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions remove visual pressure for those who prefer it, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, on-the-go check-ins and follow-up. These options make it easier to keep consistent work moving forward while balancing family schedules.
