About Candance
Candance Hammonds is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who brings two decades of experience to her practice.
Background and approach
She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and relationship challenges, attention concerns such as ADHD, and a range of family and intimacy-related issues. Her work also encompasses specialized topics like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, fertility and infertility concerns, and recovery from infidelity or narcissistic dynamics.
Hammonds approaches therapy with a collaborative, goal-oriented mindset, emphasizing the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients examine and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and integrates client-centered and mindfulness-informed elements to honor each person’s values and present experience.
Motivational interviewing and trauma-focused techniques are available when addressing readiness for change and processing painful histories. Sessions are structured around realistic outcomes, with attention to practical coping strategies and emotional healing.
Working with Hammonds means engaging with a practitioner who values empathy, clarity, and steady support as clients navigate life transitions and complicated emotional concerns.
Approaches for Online Care and Practical Change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to emotional distress and then develop concrete strategies to shift those patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers the individual's experiences and values, providing a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where people can explore feelings and set their own goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers approaches tailored to processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact on daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapt methods over time to fit what proves most helpful. That collaborative stance means interventions are chosen together and adjusted as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with this clinician uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to care. These formats allow sessions to fit into busy schedules, make consistent follow-up more feasible, and offer different ways to communicate depending on comfort level and therapeutic goals.
