About Candace
Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem concerns, depression, addictions, and trauma and abuse. She also supports clients dealing with relationship and family challenges, anger, career questions, and coping with life changes.
Candace uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches. She draws on these methods to help people name and make sense of strong emotions and recurring patterns. Sessions involve talking through feelings, noticing patterns in relationships, and trying new ways of responding.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. Her clinical training included a psychiatric practicum where she completed assessments, crisis intervention, and psychoeducational groups. That experience shaped her work with people in acute settings and those managing complex emotional situations.
Candace has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and general adults earlier in her career and has provided in-person and telephonic crisis intervention. She brings 15 years of practice to issues such as caregiver stress, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, codependency, and communication problems.
In sessions clients can expect direct conversation about emotions and behavior, practical strategies from CBT, and attention to relationship patterns that arise during therapy. To begin, people follow the site's matching steps to schedule an initial session and discuss goals and expectations.
How her approaches fit with online work
Candace uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with core emotions and interactional patterns. EFT can be useful when feelings are hard to name and when relationship patterns keep repeating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the pace; it supports exploring thoughts and feelings in a nonjudgmental way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Candace will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That includes discussing how EFT, Client-Centered techniques, or CBT might be used together to address the issues a person brings.
