About Candice
Candice Halley is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 16 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and transitions in life. Candice focuses on practical steps clients can use right away to feel steadier and more in control.
Her style is warm and direct. Sessions often involve talking through what’s happening now, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes between meetings. She draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and on cognitive behavioral tools to adjust thoughts and behaviors that cause distress.
Candice also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and staying present. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when people want to make changes but feel stuck or unsure where to begin. These methods are chosen to match each person’s goals rather than pushed as a one-size-fits-all solution.
She has supported people facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief after loss, parenting strain, and work-related difficulties. Her practice includes attention to issues like trauma, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, attention differences, and mood instability. Candice aims to create a respectful space where clients can try new coping skills and clarify next steps.
People who reach out are guided through an initial matching process and then given options for scheduling. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist scheduling.

How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first and emphasizes listening and empathy. Online work with this approach means time is spent understanding what matters most and shaping sessions around those priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms; in an online setting this often looks like setting specific between-session tasks and reviewing progress together.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that fit the person’s habits, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative stance helps people find what actually helps them feel better over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can remove travel time, allow check-ins from a quieter place, and let people schedule around work or caregiving responsibilities. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and follow-up between meetings.
