About Candice

Candice Mitchell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with seven years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and related challenges. Sessions are offered by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different comfort levels and schedules.

She came to this work after seeing how anxiety and trauma quietly take over day-to-day life. That drove her toward trauma-informed practice and a focus on calming the nervous system so people can make lasting changes.

Background and approach

Her aim is practical relief rather than quick fixes. In the room, sessions move at a thoughtful, steady pace. Intake conversations focus on what a person is carrying, how stress shows up in their body and daily routine, and what matters most right now.

She prioritizes building trust and a sense of safety before pushing into difficult material. Candice blends conversational, evidence-based techniques with attention to bodily signs of stress. She uses methods that help people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping steps, and find ways to feel more grounded in daily life.

Clients often work toward less intense anxiety and steadier emotional responses. Her listed specialties include parenting, relationship and family concerns, grief, sleep problems, ADHD, bipolar concerns, addiction, compassion fatigue, gender dysphoria, and other areas related to life change and identity. She keeps training current in trauma-informed care and nervous system approaches to better support lasting change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the person’s lead. It focuses on understanding what matters to the client and creating a nonjudgmental space where they can talk through hard things. This approach helps when someone needs validation, clearer priorities, or steady support while navigating stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and sleep better. CBT can be practical for coping with stress, depression, and daily challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to feel manageable and useful.

Online therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions around parenting, work, or medical needs. They also allow for follow-up between sessions through messaging so progress can continue outside scheduled appointments.

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.
