About Candace
Candace Gregg is a licensed independent social worker-clinical practice who focuses on practical steps parents and individuals can take to feel less stuck. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most. Sessions aim to help people notice strengths, learn new skills, and make changes that fit day-to-day life.
Candace brings nine years of experience across emergency rooms, home-based services, community mental health centers, personal outpatient programs, and inpatient psychiatric care in South Carolina.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with children, teens, young adults, adults, and older adults facing a wide range of challenges. This variety shapes a flexible approach that adapts to different needs. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices.
Those methods are mixed to match a person’s situation and personality rather than following a single script. The goal is usable strategies parents and caregivers can try between sessions. Candace emphasizes a strengths-based, holistic outlook.
She aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere so people feel heard while they work on goals. That can include coping with stress, managing mood symptoms, addressing substance use, navigating parenting challenges, improving sleep, and building self-esteem. Practical steps are part of each visit.
Expect clear suggestions, short skill practices, and collaboration on next steps. Her work is guided by the SC LISW-CP credential and years of varied clinical experience.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can help with low mood, anxiety, and parenting choices by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication; it is often used when emotion regulation and impulsive behaviors are concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Candace will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She mixes techniques as needed and checks in to see what is helping and what should change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines. These formats allow for flexible scheduling, quick check-ins between visits, and the chance to practice skills where they are used most. Licensed professionals can adapt materials and exercises to work well in each format, keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
