About Candace

FL LMHC with 11 years of experience, Candace Spicer focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma and abuse. She works with adults who are struggling with self-esteem, social anxiety, panic, and the emotional fallout of life changes. Sessions aim to restore a sense of purpose and improve everyday functioning.

Candace describes her work as practical and person-centered. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people name what feels stuck. Conversations move from understanding what happened to testing small changes that can reduce distress day to day.

She pays attention to attachment, body image, caregiver strain, and communication problems. Those topics often come up in sessions about divorce, control issues, guilt, or isolation. Candace also supports people dealing with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress by addressing both symptoms and relationship effects.

Faith-based values can play a role when clients want them included. She integrates clients' beliefs into talk and coping strategies without imposing any specific spiritual path. The emphasis is on what the individual brings and finding workable steps forward.

Her work includes building boundaries, practicing self-love, and improving social connection. Many sessions focus on concrete skills for managing panic, reducing avoidance, and repairing communication. People leave with clear next steps to try between meetings.

Approaches used in virtual sessions and what they do

Her practice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and on improving relationships. One common approach is cognitive work that helps people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or depression and try different, more helpful ways of thinking. This approach suits worry, panic symptoms, and mood problems.

Another focus is relationship and attachment-oriented work that looks at how past connections affect current interactions. That type of work helps with communication problems, separation and divorce stress, and rebuilding trust after trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust the plan if something is not helping.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online options often make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Ask about session length and any technology needs when scheduling so sessions fit into everyday life.
