About Candice
Candice Yu Simon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical, straightforward support. She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to help people manage stress and anxiety. She also works with issues around parenting, anger, motivation, self esteem, and depression.
Candice treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs. Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on small, usable steps.
Background and approach
In the therapy room she listens first and asks questions to understand what matters most. Then she helps identify short-term goals and simple strategies to try between sessions. That might include communication skills, problem-solving techniques, or small behavior changes to reduce daily stress.
Her approach is straightforward and geared toward real-life results. People can expect clear suggestions and space to practice new ways of handling hard situations. Candice supports each person as they build confidence and forward momentum.
She provides services in California and speaks both English and Korean. Her license is California LMFT 97512 and her work over the years has included a range of mood and stress-related concerns.
Evidence-based techniques and online care for everyday parenting stress
Two common, evidence-based approaches she uses are skills-focused coaching and problem-solving strategies. Skills-focused coaching teaches concrete tools like breathing or pacing, improved communication, and ways to manage moments of anger. These tools help people reduce immediate distress and respond more calmly in stressful situations.Problem-solving strategies break larger worries into small steps. The therapist helps identify specific problems, generate options, and try one small change at a time. This approach is useful for parenting challenges, motivation, and low mood because progress is gradual and trackable.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. If something does not fit, adjustments are made together until a workable plan emerges.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule and to keep working on goals from home.
