About Candace

Candace Delis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with six years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Lakeland University and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Candace works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar concerns, addictions, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she practices from Wisconsin.

Candace aims for a straightforward and interactive counseling style. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused techniques. In practice that means listening first, then suggesting concrete steps to try between sessions. She focuses on skills such as emotional regulation, communication, and problem-solving.

Her background includes crisis intervention and group therapy settings. She has also worked with adolescents, adults, and couples on problems like PTSD, self-esteem, and marital conflict. That experience informs how she responds to urgent stress and to ongoing relationship difficulties.

Candace describes herself as relatable and practical. She mentions a progressive viewpoint and a home life that includes a spouse, an 18-year-old stepson, rescue dogs, adopted cats, chickens, and goats. That personal detail helps some people understand her bedside manner and conversational style.

In sessions she avoids labeling people by diagnosis. She emphasizes respect and sensitivity while helping clients build coping tools. Clients who want clear strategies for parenting strain, blended family tensions, or communication problems may find this approach fits their needs.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies concerns, and helps prioritize what to work on first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often involves homework such as thought records or behavior experiments to test new ways of coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. That collaborative conversation guides whether to emphasize CBT skills, a client-centered stance, or solution-focused steps in online sessions.

Session formats are not specified in this profile, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Others prefer a longer, more focused appointment when addressing complex relationship or parenting concerns. The therapist will help match session rhythm and techniques to practical needs and daily routines.
