About Candace
Candace Gregg is a licensed independent social worker with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and also addresses addictions, depression, trauma, and related concerns. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth and aims to help people feel heard as they work toward change.
Candace draws from a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build useful habits.
Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making changes, and elements of dialectical behavior work support emotion regulation and coping skills. Her background includes work in emergency rooms, home-based services, community mental health centers, personal outpatient programs, and inpatient psychiatric settings. That range of settings means she has experience with crises, ongoing care, and addiction-related challenges.
She has worked with adults across many stages of life and with a variety of concerns besides anxiety, including grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, and career shifts. In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and practical steps. Conversations focus on small changes that fit daily life, such as new routines, coping tools, and ways to handle upsetting thoughts.
That practical focus is paired with a warm, nonjudgmental stance to make it easier to try new strategies. To begin, she asks about what matters most to the person and what has been tried already. From there she and the client set clear goals and check progress over time, adjusting the approach as needed.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unwanted thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on taking small steps toward a meaningful life even when difficult feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. These two approaches are often used together to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep someone stuck.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past attempts, and daily routines, then suggest methods that fit those needs. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan so it matches the person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more interpersonal work is useful. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins or to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it possible to maintain steady progress while fitting therapy into a busy life.
