How therapeutic approaches inform online sessions
Candace works from trauma-informed principles, which means she pays attention to how past harm affects current reactions and focuses on safety and pacing while helping clients regain control over overwhelming symptoms. This approach can be useful for people processing sexual assault, abuse, or post-traumatic stress.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy skill building, teaching concrete techniques for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions to help with anxiety, mood swings, and relationship strain.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what works in real life.
