Dr. Candace Body, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Candace

Dr. Candace Body is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with mood and stress-related issues. She speaks English and brings 20 years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting challenges.

Her work is practical and direct, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find clearer ways to cope and communicate. She offers therapy in several online formats to fit busy schedules.

Background and approach

Her style is collaborative and adaptable. Sessions typically start by identifying immediate goals and the day-to-day problems that cause the most strain. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and from solution-focused work to build small, realistic changes.

Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with regulation and grounding when stress or strong emotions arise. Dr. Body has experience in both outpatient and residential settings, and she has worked with emotional and behavioral concerns across the lifespan.

That background informs her flexible approach to practical problems such as sleep struggles, parenting stress, grief, and coping with life transitions. She emphasizes a trusting working relationship and clear communication. Treatment plans are shaped to each person’s needs and preferences.

Sessions may include skill teaching, reflective conversation, and short behavioral experiments to test new ways of handling family dynamics. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care issues and blended family concerns when those topics are relevant. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

Dr. Body uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people feel heard while they work on parenting or family challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple exercises to notice and manage strong emotions and can help with stress, anger, and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Body will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest options from these methods. The plan can be adjusted over time so the approach fits your situation and the problems you want to solve.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care easier to fit into daily life. These options allow scheduled conversations or brief check-ins when needed. The flexibility helps parents and caregivers balance therapy with other responsibilities while still doing focused, practical work.

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.
