About Candice

Candice Cole is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Colorado with ten years of experience. She offers straightforward support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and changes that feel overwhelming. Candice uses practical tools and steady listening to help clients cope and make small, sustainable changes.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build flexible coping. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional bonds. Sessions are focused and collaborative.

Candice centers what matters most to each person and adjusts techniques to fit real life. She keeps language simple and gives concrete strategies that can be practiced between sessions. She pays attention to identity and life context, including factors like sexual orientation and gender identity when they matter to the client.

That perspective helps shape goals and the pace of work. Clients can expect a compassionate, direct style that balances empathy with practical tools. Candice aims to make therapy a usable part of daily life, helping people manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and regain a sense of control.

Over time she helps people track progress and adjust the plan as needed. The work often includes skill building for emotion regulation, setting boundaries, and recovering from difficult experiences.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Candice frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and often involves homework, such as trying new behaviors between sessions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking actions that match personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Candice will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Then she tailors methods and checks in regularly to make sure the plan fits the client's life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or caregiving duties. Video calls allow face-to-face work from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging provide quick check-ins and moment-to-moment support. These options make it easier to use therapy consistently and to practice new skills in real time.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
