About Candice

Candice Cole is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with 10 years of experience. She sees individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, and related challenges. Candice also lists work with ADHD, bipolar concerns, self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, sleeping and eating troubles, and career strain.

Her background blends client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches with acceptance and commitment and dialectical behavior ideas. In sessions she favors clear, practical steps alongside talk-based reflection. Clients can expect straightforward attention to what feels most pressing in day-to-day life.

Candice emphasizes how identity and life experience shape problems and coping. She names sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, religion, and pronouns as factors she recognizes in therapy. That perspective guides the way she listens and plans next steps.

Sessions typically involve setting short-term goals, noticing patterns, and practicing skills between meetings. She may introduce exercises to manage intense feelings, adjust unhelpful thinking, or build moments of calm. Progress is described in terms of useful changes at home, work, or parenting roles.

Her work also includes topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and body image. Candice lists experience with alternative sexual cultures and attachment-related concerns, and she notes a history supporting older adults and people with developmental differences.

People who want plain talk and practical steps about family stress, parenting strain, or personal overwhelm will find a direct, experience-based approach. To start, follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

Approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that line up with personal values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior by testing and changing unhelpful thinking and practicing new actions, which is useful for stress, mood, and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful for intimacy concerns and relationship-related anxiety.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust what you do in sessions based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match methods to your day-to-day needs and parenting or family priorities.

Confirm the current session formats before booking, since none are specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, shorten drive time, and allow more frequent brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people use talking and skill practice in real life between sessions so progress can be applied to family and home situations.
