About Candice
Candice Alig is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who centers her work on practical, evidence-informed approaches. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction, and low self-esteem. Candice aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk and find realistic ways forward.
Candice has eight years of experience in mental health settings. She has worked with people individually and in groups, and she spent nearly five years focused on substance use concerns. That background informs how she supports people facing addiction alongside mood or relationship struggles.
Her academic training includes a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. She uses that training to listen for personal stories and strengths, not just symptoms.
In sessions she draws mainly on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. She tailors tools to the person in front of her, helping them practice new skills between visits and measure what is helpful.
Candice describes her approach as kind and straightforward. She helps people identify strengths, set small reachable goals, and manage life changes like grief, separation, or caregiver stress. Her practice emphasizes coping skills for both everyday strain and more complex challenges.
How ACT, CBT, and Mindfulness work online
Many of the approaches Candice uses translate well to virtual work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that affect work and daily routines.Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with life changes, low self-esteem, and ongoing emotional pain. Mindfulness-based strategies help people slow down, notice present-moment experience, and learn short practices for grounding during hectic days.
Finding the right mix of methods is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try techniques and adjust as needed. This collaborative approach helps tailor sessions to work demands and personal routines.
The biography does not list the therapist's specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. In general, online work can make fitting therapy into a busy schedule easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commuting time. Talk with the therapist about session length and timing to find a setup that fits work and life.
