About Kandace
Kandace Graves is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina. She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and brings three years of counseling experience to her work. Kandace aims to create a calm, steady space where people can take small steps toward change.
She uses practical approaches that focus on how thoughts and feelings shape behavior. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Kandace often supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief as they work toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Her background includes a 12-month internship providing counseling in an urban community in Ohio. That hands-on experience shaped her interest in helping people through life transitions and relationship strains.
Kandace also has experience with concerns related to parenting, intimacy, anger, and bipolar disorder. Kandace describes therapy as a process that asks for commitment and follow-through. She talks frankly about the fact that confronting hard memories or feelings can bring up sadness, anger, or shame.
Those reactions are part of the work and can lead to improved relationships and reduced distress over time. Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Kandace emphasizes each person's value and works with clients to identify useful coping skills and small, achievable goals.
She encourages practical tasks between sessions to reinforce progress and build new patterns of thinking and behavior.
How Kandace’s Approaches Work Online
Evidence-informed cognitive approaches focus on how thoughts shape feelings and behavior. These methods teach people to notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test them, and try different responses. This can help with anxiety, stress, depression, and everyday coping.Person-centered work emphasizes each person's worth and perspective. It creates a respectful space for honest conversation and helps people feel heard while they sort through difficult feelings. This approach supports changes in relationships, self-esteem, and handling life transitions.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose approaches that fit the person's needs, goals, and comfort level. They adjust methods over time based on what proves useful in real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when a shorter, written exchange fits a busy schedule.
These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or other commitments while still working toward steady change.
