Candice Crenshaw, LPC - Therapist in Alabama

About Candice

Candice Crenshaw is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and other life changes. Candice frames the work around each person’s strengths and values.

She encourages small steps and recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage. Candice keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first and then helps clients identify workable changes.

Background and approach

Conversations often include setting clear goals, trying new ways to communicate, and practicing skills between sessions. The aim is to make problems feel more manageable in daily life. Her background includes training in several therapy styles that support emotional work and skill building.

Candice draws on approaches that help with mood, stress, and relationship patterns. She uses techniques suited to the concern at hand rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Parents and caregivers often find her style direct but warm.

She helps untangle communication problems, blended family issues, and challenges around attachment and fostering connection. When parenting feels overwhelming, the focus is on practical tools that can be used right away. Candice also works with issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and identity-related concerns.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration - clients set goals and she supports steady progress toward them. The work is paced to match what each person can handle. She conducts sessions in English and offers several online formats to fit different needs.

The overall aim is to help clients regain a sense of control, clarity, and hope as they move through change.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online care

Candice draws from client-centered therapy to keep sessions grounded in the client’s experience. That means the conversation focuses on what matters most to the person and builds on existing strengths to solve immediate problems.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and everyday stressors because it teaches concrete coping steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Candice will review goals and preferences with each client and recommend methods that fit those needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy makes those methods accessible through multiple formats. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer more flexible ways to check in, practice skills, or get brief support between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to maintain consistent work despite busy schedules or caregiving demands.

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.

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.
