About Candance
Candance Hammonds is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting strain, and relationship concerns. She draws on two decades of mental health experience and keeps sessions focused on practical goals the client wants to reach. Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded in day-to-day life.
Hammonds treats anxiety and depression, supports people coping with trauma and abuse, and assists those navigating major life changes.
Background and approach
She also works with issues related to ADHD, parenting, foster care and adoption, and compassion fatigue. Her approach suits people who want clear, goal-oriented work alongside empathetic listening. She practices from a client-centered stance, which means she listens first and follows the client’s lead.
She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness strategies and trauma-focused tools are included when they fit the person’s needs. Expect sessions that set small, achievable steps and track progress over time.
She uses motivational interviewing techniques to help clients find their own reasons to change. The relationship in the room is treated as central to getting results. Hammonds holds the credential LCMHC, which stands for Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina.
She has worked in the field for 20 years, with 17 years practicing as a licensed counselor. Conversations are held in English and arranged around the client’s schedule.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. Online CBT often uses worksheets, goal-setting, and between-session experiments that clients can do in daily life to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. In remote sessions this looks like a therapist who follows the client’s pace, reflects what is said, and helps clients name their priorities and values.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend strategies based on what seems to fit best. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter updates, ongoing reflection, or when written expression feels easier. These options provide flexibility so therapy can match a person’s schedule and communication style.
