About Candace
Candace Thom-Rogers is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people find steadiness when anxiety, stress, or low mood feel overwhelming. She works with adults and young adults who are trying to make sense of identity, relationships, or past hurts. Her style is calm and direct, and she aims to give practical tools that are easy to use between sessions.
She brings 24 years of experience to therapy and focuses on trauma-informed care and building on each person's strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative - she listens to the story and then helps map small steps toward clearer thinking and better boundaries. Expect straightforward skills for managing stress and mood, and space to talk through painful experiences when you’re ready.
Candace has supported people coping with anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse, as well as concerns like isolation, guilt, and life purpose. She also addresses issues common to women, sexual assault survivors, and those navigating sexual identity or LGBT questions. Her background includes work with caregivers and those facing separation or divorce.
In practical terms she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and incorporates skill building when helpful. Clients who want faith-integrated approaches can bring that perspective into sessions. The goal is to leave each meeting with something useful to try during the week.
Sessions are offered from New Jersey and are conducted in English. Communication options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
How therapy methods translate to online care
The work often begins with grounded, skills-based strategies that teach ways to manage anxiety and strong emotions. These techniques focus on breath work, grounding, and simple behavior changes that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.Trauma-informed care is another key element and means the therapist pays attention to safety, pacing, and what a person can handle in the moment. This approach helps people process painful memories gradually and build coping skills for triggers and reminders.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit current needs and goals, and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most. Clients are invited to share their preferences and faith or values if they want that included.
Online formats offer practical advantages for making therapy part of life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or work better when someone needs not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, and follow-up between sessions. These choices help therapy fit work, school, or caregiving schedules and make regular contact easier for many people.
