About Kandace
Kandace Perryman is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) practicing in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting and relationship issues, grief, depression, and ADHD. Her work also covers intimacy-related problems, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and coaching for practical challenges.
Perryman frames therapy as an effort to uncover answers already within each person. She talks with clients in plain language and helps them notice long-standing patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on identifying feelings, clarifying goals, and trying small changes that can shift daily life.
She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches when emotions and attachment shape recurring problems. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clear thinking and practical skills. For relationship concerns, elements from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy may guide conversation about interaction patterns.
Perryman works with practical family topics such as adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, postpartum issues, and caregiver stress. She also addresses trauma-related concerns including sexual assault and abuse, and supports people managing obsessive or compulsive behavior.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with core emotions and patterns in relationships. It can help when people notice recurring cycles of disconnection or when attachment needs shape reactions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client’s experience leads the pace and focus of work. It supports people who want a conversational, exploratory style. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and may combine approaches as needs shift over time.

They also let people maintain continuity when life requires flexibility. If you prefer certain logistics, mention them in the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect your practical needs.
