What Candice works with
Everything Candice lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Candice's practice.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Two common evidence-based approaches she uses include brief skills-focused work and problem-solving strategies. Skills-focused work teaches practical ways to manage strong emotions, lower anxiety, and respond differently during angry moments. Problem-solving strategies break down stressful situations into steps so choices feel clearer and more manageable.A second helpful approach emphasizes building emotional awareness and coping routines. This involves noticing patterns that lead to overwhelm, practicing simple calming exercises, and trying small changes in day-to-day routines to boost confidence and mood. These methods are useful for anger, anxiety, and depression where concrete changes make a difference.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Candice collaborates with each person to choose methods that line up with their goals, preferences, and life situation. She adjusts pacing and tools as things change so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions or use shorter touchpoints during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
