About Candyce
Candyce Bell is a licensed counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. Candyce draws on her background as an Army veteran and years working in crisis and substance use settings to support people through hard moments.
She aims to make the first visit straightforward and low pressure. Sessions are a place to talk through feelings and worries without judgment.
Background and approach
Candyce listens closely and helps people sort practical next steps alongside emotional work. Her work often includes supporting people after physical trauma or emotional abuse. She also helps with caregiver stress, chronic illness, addiction concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and difficulties with communication and control.
Her range comes from both individual and group practice experience in clinical settings. Candyce is licensed in Missouri as an LPC and in Illinois as an LCPC. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor the work to each person’s needs.
Her approach is collaborative and direct, balancing practical coping strategies with time to process feelings. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People meet her via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs.
Approaches that guide online therapy
Candyce uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in everyday life. One common approach emphasizes identifying and practicing coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving steps to handle distressing moments. Another approach centers on understanding relationship and attachment patterns to improve communication and reduce repeated cycles of conflict and abandonment fears.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Candyce works with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting the plan as needed. Together they decide which techniques feel most useful and practical for the clients situation.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people use visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, mood tracking, or when someone prefers writing instead of talking. These options help fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
