About Candice

Candice Crenshaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience. She draws on evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family challenges, parenting concerns, trauma, grief, and identity-related struggles.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, communication breakdowns, and career or life-purpose questions. Her style centers on respect for each person's expertise in their own life, combining client-centered listening with structured techniques when helpful.

Candice uses methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside emotion-focused and existential approaches to help clients explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and develop clearer goals. She emphasizes strengths, practical tools, and collaborative problem solving so clients can make meaningful changes at their own pace.

People who seek her support often want a thoughtful partner who balances empathy with actionable strategies. Candice encourages those taking the first step toward therapy and works to create a space where growth, self-compassion, and realistic change can take place.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete skills to change behavior and mood; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and the client's own resources, creating space for self-exploration and personal growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Candice collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit regular work on goals into busy schedules and can support continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these options to blend real-time conversation with ongoing skills practice and brief check-ins between live sessions, which can help maintain momentum toward meaningful change.
