About Candice
Candice Mitchell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience based in Florida. She focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, and other stressors. Candice aims to help people regain steadiness so daily life feels more manageable.
She became a therapist after seeing how anxiety and depression quietly take over routines, sleep, and relationships. That led her to trauma-informed private practice where she concentrates on nervous system regulation and body-based work. Her sessions emphasize slowing down and creating a sense of safety before moving into deeper material.
Intake conversations are unrushed and practical. Candice listens for how stress shows up in thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Together the client and therapist set priorities and pace so changes happen in ways that feel doable.
In session she blends client-centered care with approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. This mix lets her teach breathing and grounding skills, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and set clear steps toward goals like better sleep, less reactivity, or improved self-esteem.
Clients often notice small but meaningful shifts - calmer responses, fewer intrusive worries, and clearer choices about next steps. Candice works with people addressing a wide range of concerns including trauma, addiction, grief, relationship stress, career strain, ADHD, and parenting challenges.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead; the therapist reflects concerns back and helps people clarify what matters most. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, respectful space to make sense of their experience.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. It can be used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and career-related stress where practical strategies and homework help accelerate progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Candice will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what feels most helpful.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how she is offering care at the moment. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits the day. It also supports using skills between meetings, like practicing grounding or CBT exercises in real situations, so progress can carry into everyday life.
