About Candice
Candice Catoire is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports clients experiencing compassion fatigue and concerns like panic attacks, OCD symptoms, body image, and postpartum mood shifts. Candice writes and talks in a direct, respectful way so people feel heard from the first session.
Her approach is conversational and goal-focused. Sessions are shaped around what a person wants to change and what feels realistic for their life.
Background and approach
She uses techniques to reduce anxious thinking and to build small, practical habits that make daily life easier. Candice blends solution-focused work with client-centered conversations. That means she helps people spot what is working now, set short-term goals, and follow the client's own pace and values.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone needs support finding motivation or making a change. She has five years of professional experience as a LMFT - licensed marriage and family therapist - practicing in Washington. Candice is willing to include faith-based perspectives when that is requested by a client and fits their goals.
Sessions may include discussion, skill-building exercises, and brief homework between meetings. She aims to create a practical plan that people can use after the session ends. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person, letting the client's goals lead the work. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify values and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is skills-based and practical. It teaches ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and test what changes reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT often helps with panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, and daily anxiety symptoms.
Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring their own reasons and building commitment at a comfortable pace. It pairs well with goal-focused work when someone needs extra motivation to start new habits.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. That collaborative plan can be adjusted as someone sees what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people read visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier if someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when scheduling a longer live session is difficult. These options help people fit therapy into busy or changing lives.
