About Candice

Candice Hart is an LPC who blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and changes in life circumstances.

Background and approach

With three years of direct therapeutic experience and a longer background in the mental health field, she draws on practical clinical approaches to support improvements in mood, self-esteem, coping, and interpersonal functioning.

Candice works with a range of concerns including abandonment and attachment issues, body image and caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness-related challenges, communication and control struggles, and relationship transitions such as divorce and separation. Her approach includes elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside CBT, aiming to strengthen motivation, self-efficacy, and adaptive coping skills.

She emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental support while helping clients process trauma, guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation. Candice frames therapy as a collaborative process, honoring each person’s unique experience and pace of healing.

She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin work on difficult issues and seeks to provide an objective, respectful environment where clients can explore concerns, clarify values, and build practical strategies for lasting change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and it often uses practical exercises and skill practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while committing to meaningful life changes; it can help with stress, chronic pain, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, communication problems, and intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. A therapist will work together with each client to determine whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, or a blend of methods best matches the client’s goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting strategies as progress is made.

Online therapy with this clinician is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These options make it easier to fit regular skill-building, check-ins, and therapeutic exercises into a busy life, and they allow clients to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can tailor session formats to support practical skill practice, emotional processing, and progress tracking across differing needs and schedules.
