About Candice
Candice Alig is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through addiction concerns, and cope with life changes. Her approach is straightforward and kind, aimed at helping clients find what works for them.
Candice has eight years of experience in mental health work, including nearly five years focused on substance use issues. She has provided both individual and group counseling for people facing depression, low self-esteem, communication problems, and family or relationship conflict.
Background and approach
This background gives her a broad view of how different problems overlap in daily life. Her training includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Northern Kentucky University. Candice is licensed to practice in Kentucky and Ohio as an LPCC.
She uses that clinical experience to offer clear, practical strategies rather than jargon-filled explanations. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. She focuses on helping people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and build small, achievable skills that reduce distress and increase meaning.
Candice aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients can name what matters to them and take steps toward it. She supports work on grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, and a wide range of family-of-origin and relationship issues. Her style is collaborative, steady, and goal-oriented.
Approach-driven care online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where getting stuck on thoughts holds someone back. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns and testing new ways of acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness skills that can lower reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, values, and day-to-day life. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps most, with regular check-ins about progress and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy schedules while using the therapist's chosen approaches to guide the work.
