About Candace
Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She works with young adults and others dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and self-esteem issues.
Candace uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses client-centered ideas to listen and reflect what matters most to each person.
Her training included a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University, Atlanta, and psychiatric practicum experience at Emory Decatur Hospital in Atlanta. That practicum involved psychiatric assessments, crisis intervention in emergency settings, and leading psychoeducational groups.
Past roles have included counseling in acute inpatient psychiatric settings, telephonic crisis intervention, and coordinating behavioral health services. She has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and general adults in those settings and brings that background into her practice with individuals now.
In sessions she works through concrete problems such as caregiver stress, career decisions, coping with life changes, and trauma-related concerns. She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. Her style is practical and focused on what someone can try between meetings.
How her therapeutic approaches translate online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot patterns in their thoughts and behaviors. Online sessions can use this work to set clear goals, try experiments between sessions, and review what did or did not help. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions inside relationships and helps people name and respond differently to strong feelings; it can be used online to practice new ways of communicating and to reflect on emotional patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress, and these skills can be practiced during or between sessions.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as work progresses so the fit improves over time.
The biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions around school or work. It also supports shorter check-ins when time is limited, and sessions without video can reduce bandwidth needs or make it simpler to join from a quiet space. Licensed professionals use online appointments to help people make practical changes that fit everyday life.
