About Candice

Candice Yu Simon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 14 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem struggles, and depression. She speaks English and Korean and practices in California. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward change.

Candice focuses conversations on the issues you bring and adapts plans to fit each person’s situation. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong emotions, reduce anxiety, and rebuild confidence.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped to match what feels most useful for the client rather than following a rigid formula. Many people come to her for help with anger that feels out of control, or with parenting stress that affects daily life. She offers straightforward tools to recognize triggers, practice new responses, and improve communication.

For anxiety and depression she emphasizes manageable strategies that can make a difference between sessions. Candice describes her style as compassionate and sensitive. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and able to try new ways of coping.

Progress is built step by step, with attention to what works in real life. Her background includes 14 years of clinical work as an LMFT, which informs a practical focus on problem-solving and emotional skill building. People who value clear, respectful guidance may find her approach helpful when taking the first steps toward change.

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.
