Candace Johnson, LPC

Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, depression, addictions, and struggles with self-esteem. She also addresses family-related issues and caregiving stress among other everyday pressures.

Candace uses clear, direct conversation to help people identify what is most pressing at home. She leans on client-centered methods so the person’s priorities lead each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a common tool she uses to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes in behavior.

Her background includes psychiatric practicum experience at a hospital where she took part in psychiatric assessments and crisis intervention. That work involved brief interventions in acute settings and coordinating behavioral health services. Those roles shaped how she manages safety concerns and short-term crises.

In sessions she blends approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness techniques when helpful. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel stuck or uncertain about next steps. Conversations tend to focus on clear goals and small, doable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

Candace has worked with adolescents and adults in inpatient and outpatient contexts, and she draws on that range when helping someone cope with life changes, caregiver strain, or adoption and foster care concerns. People who want to start are asked to complete a short matching form and schedule a first session to see how the work might fit their life.
