About Candice
Candice Alig is a licensed professional clinical counselor with eight years of experience. She practices in Kentucky and aims to make the first steps feel manageable. Her approach is warm and direct, and she focuses on practical strategies for everyday problems like stress, anger, anxiety, and addiction.
Candice spent several years working with people facing substance use concerns and related challenges. She combines that background with work supporting depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and relationship or family tension.
Background and approach
She frames problems in plain terms and looks for realistic ways to reduce overwhelm. Her training includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. Candice also studied anthropology at the bachelor level, which shaped her interest in personal stories and life context.
She uses that perspective when helping people sort through complicated feelings and decisions. In sessions she leans on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness practices. These methods are adapted to what a person needs in the moment, whether that means learning new coping skills, practicing emotion regulation, or shifting unhelpful thinking patterns.
Candice aims to be nonjudgmental and kind while helping people find their strengths. She supports parents managing stress, people navigating divorce or separation, caregivers under strain, and those working through family of origin issues or codependency. Her work prioritizes clear, doable steps clients can use between sessions.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
The therapist uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which often includes practical exercises and homework to try between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is offered as a way to clarify personal values and build willingness to live by them, even when difficult feelings remain. Mindfulness-based techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support calmer responses to stress.Choosing the right approach happens together. During the first sessions the therapist will learn about your goals and preferences, then suggest which methods to try and adjust them based on what works. Clients and the clinician review progress and adapt techniques so the plan fits each person's life and needs.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for longer therapy work and skills practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can help people touch base between visits. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum over time.
