About Candace
Candace Spicer is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 11 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship strain, and trauma and abuse, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. She offers therapy in English and does not take international clients.
Candace helps people who struggle with self-esteem, isolation, guilt, shame, and communication problems. She also supports those navigating life changes such as divorce, caregiver stress, and attachment challenges. Her work includes attention to panic and mood disorders and the lasting effects of traumatic events.
In sessions she pays attention to how beliefs, behavior patterns, and relationships affect daily life. Conversations aim to identify small, practical steps the client can try between meetings. Sessions also look at patterns like control issues or avoidance that keep problems repeating.
Candace integrates faith-centered perspectives when that is important to the client and respects each person’s values. She encourages boundary-setting, clearer communication, and ways to rebuild a sense of self-worth. Therapy focuses on concrete skills as well as processing painful experiences when needed.
Clients can expect direct feedback, collaborative planning, and a steady focus on what matters most to their daily functioning and relationships. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the practice intake process.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Candace uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and processing the impact of trauma. Cognitive approaches help people notice thought patterns that increase anxiety and test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce avoidance and panic symptoms.She also uses trauma-informed methods to help people make sense of painful events and their effects on relationships and mood. These methods focus on stability, safety in the moment, and gradual processing of difficult memories when the client is ready.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which techniques fit the person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and they adjust as progress is made.
