About Kandace
Kandace Perryman is a licensed clinical mental health counselor with 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and life changes. She works with people on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family stress, and shows up for those dealing with trauma, depression, or low self-esteem. Her style is conversational and down-to-earth.
Kandace describes therapy as a collaborative search to uncover the answers a person already carries.
Background and approach
She listens first, then offers practical tools tailored to what each person needs in the moment. She uses a mix of approaches to match the client and the concern. That can mean talking through patterns and emotions, learning new ways to respond to stress, or practicing communication skills for strained relationships.
Sessions can also include focused strategies for anger and obsessive thoughts when those come up. Kandace brings long-term experience working with people facing adoption and foster care issues, attachment and blended family concerns, postpartum challenges, and first responder stress. She also addresses money stress, caregiving strain, body image, and recovery after sexual assault or abuse.
Based in North Carolina, Kandace works with clients in English and accepts international clients. Her counseling draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Imago Relationship Therapy to make a practical plan with each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help someone uncover their own insights and make choices that fit their life. This approach is useful for stress, grief, self-esteem, and general life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It offers clear strategies to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful patterns by practicing new responses and tracking progress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift the emotions beneath relationship and intimacy problems. It can be especially helpful when communication patterns leave people feeling disconnected or reactive.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kandace will discuss options, try a method for a few sessions, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Goals and preferences guide which techniques are used so the work fits each person's life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from different places. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit short updates, coaching-style check-ins, or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and ongoing life demands.
