About Candis
Candis Cochran is a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflict, grief, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She also addresses compassion fatigue and ADHD along with related issues such as communication problems, codependency, blended family concerns, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or guilt. With a practice shaped by several years in behavioral health settings, she works with clients to identify practical steps for managing symptoms and restoring balance.
Her therapeutic stance is warm and collaborative, emphasizing a person-centered approach that meets clients where they are and honors cultural and lifestyle differences. Candis integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and relationship tools from the Gottman approach to create individualized care plans.
She encourages setting concrete goals, celebrating incremental progress, and using evidence-informed techniques to build coping skills and strengthen relationships. Clients can expect encouragement to take manageable steps toward change, attentive listening, and a focus on practical skills that support day-to-day functioning.
Candis brings three years of licensed experience and frames therapy as teamwork, working together to clarify priorities and create actionable plans for healthier living.
Integrating practical approaches for online care
Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy provides a foundation of empathic listening and acceptance, helping people explore their values and goals in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. The Gottman Method contributes specific tools for couples and relationship work, focusing on communication skills, trust building, and conflict management when relationship concerns are present.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each client to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adapted over time based on how the client responds, with an emphasis on practical steps and measurable progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home or work and to continue momentum between in-person obligations, while allowing for real-time collaboration on goals and skills development.
