About Candice
Candice Halley is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 16 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She listens carefully and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, whether someone is coping with grief, depression, or relationship strain.
Candice uses clear, collaborative methods to help people change unhelpful patterns. She blends client-centered listening with techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Background and approach
This mix is meant to help clients spot thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck, and then try small experiments to see what helps. Many people come for help with work pressure, caregiver stress, sleep and eating concerns, or life transitions. Others seek support for trauma, addiction, ADHD, or managing bipolar symptoms.
She also addresses issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, chronic illness, and communication problems. Her style is warm and problem-focused. Conversations often include skill practices, short homework, and check-ins on progress.
She aims to build confidence and clearer communication, so clients can use what they learn outside sessions. Candice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules time based on therapist availability.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions clients learn to notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This approach is useful for stress, sleep problems, and everyday worry.Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Sessions often include practice of breathing and grounding techniques, role-play for tough conversations, and step-by-step plans for managing intense feelings.
Candice takes a collaborative approach to choosing methods. She will work with each person to figure out which combination of client-centered listening and skill-based techniques fits their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for different needs. Video is good for deeper conversation and practicing communication skills. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, homework review, or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day.
