About Candice

Candice Crenshaw is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family difficulties, and parenting issues. She also supports people facing depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem.

Candice works from the idea that each person knows their story best. She listens to what is happening at home and helps people identify strengths they already have. Sessions are practical and direct. Conversations often concentrate on clearer communication, managing strong emotions, and workable steps for change.

Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral tools to notice patterns and test new ways of behaving. She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused work when the situation calls for it. That means helping people learn skills to tolerate distress, shift unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen close relationships.

Candice pays attention to family roles such as blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, and communication problems. She also addresses specific areas like abandonment, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue. The aim is to make conversations at home easier to manage.

Practical steps are a common part of sessions. People leave with small actions to try between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the online therapy options button.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building on your strengths. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it helps people test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods will best match their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is reviewed together.

Specific session formats were not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talking about practical steps learned in sessions can be carried into everyday life, and the therapist will help structure sessions so they fit around work and family commitments.
