About Candice

Candice Alig is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with independent licenses in Kentucky and Ohio and eight years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family conflict, grief, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and bipolar mood concerns. Her practice also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, and challenges after separation or divorce.

Candice draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, dialectical skills, and mindfulness practices. In sessions she uses clear, down-to-earth language. She helps people identify strengths, build coping skills, and change patterns that get in the way of daily life. She has particular experience with substance use issues, having worked with that population for nearly five years.

Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. Candice has provided both individual and group counseling across a range of behavioral health settings. She tends to offer structured tools alongside reflective conversation to support practical change.

People often come to her for help managing intense emotions, improving communication, or rebuilding routines after loss or major life change. Sessions focus on concrete skills anyone can practice between meetings. The aim is clearer choices and more steady functioning at home and at work.

How sessions work

How her therapeutic approaches fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking steps toward them even when strong feelings are present. It helps when life gets confusing and you want to act in line with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Candice will talk with each person about goals and what feels useful. She will suggest techniques from ACT, CBT, mindfulness, or dialectical skills and together you will decide what to try first. That collaborative decision can change as needs shift.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life examples into conversation. Licensed professionals help shape session length and structure so therapy can fit into everyday routines.
