Candace Johnson, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Candace

Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, depression, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people coping with trauma, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Her straightforward, calm approach aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for busy parents and adults.

She brings 15 years of experience in mental health settings, including work in psychiatric care and crisis intervention.

Background and approach

Candace draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to fit the needs of each person. Sessions focus on clear goals, skill building, and stronger ways to manage emotions and daily stress. Candace often helps people facing family and parenting concerns, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, and communication problems.

She uses a mix of talk-based techniques and practical exercises so clients can try new ways of handling difficult moments between sessions. Her training includes clinical work in hospital settings where she conducted assessments and led psychoeducational groups. That background informs a careful approach to safety and crisis planning while keeping conversations grounded and solutions-focused.

Therapy is done in English and is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people find unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and naming emotions and learning safer ways to communicate them, which can help with intimacy and relationship stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people stay present and reduce reactivity in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible for busy schedules. These options let people check in between errands or after work, maintain continuity when travel or caregiver duties interrupt routines, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for sharing sensitive topics.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
