Candis Cochran, LPC - Therapist in Tennessee

About Candis

Candis Cochran is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns among other areas. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family conflict, and issues with intimacy or addiction. She aims to make seeking help feel manageable and practical for people who are feeling overwhelmed.

Candis keeps sessions warm and supportive. She starts by listening to where someone is right now and then builds clear, achievable goals together.

Background and approach

She emphasizes small steps and celebrates progress, even when change feels slow. Her approach blends client-centered care with proven techniques. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies so people can notice patterns, learn skills, and try new ways of responding.

She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work when appropriate. Candis brings three years as a licensed counselor in Tennessee. Her background includes work in residential and partial care settings and in a church setting, which shaped her practical, hands-on style.

She understands how stigma and logistics can make reaching out hard, and she aims to ease that first step. Sessions are conducted in English and offered online in formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Candis frames therapy as team work - she helps people set steps and review what’s working so they can move forward with greater confidence.

How her approaches translate to online family and parenting work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s perspective first. In practice this means Candis builds sessions around what matters to the client and adapts goals to their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect family life. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for couples to improve communication and repair conflicts, which can be useful when relationship patterns affect parenting or family dynamics.

Candis sees choosing an approach as a collaborative step. She will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. If something doesn't fit, she will adjust the plan so it better matches what the family needs and wants.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy families. Video sessions let people meet face to face without travel, phone sessions provide an option when video isn't possible, and live chat or text messaging can help sustain progress between appointments. These formats make scheduling easier and let families work on goals from home, at work, or during a short break in the day.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
