Dr. Candace Body , LPC

Dr. Candace Body is a Georgia-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. She has worked extensively with emotionally challenged youth, ADHD-related behaviors, and both child and adult depression, and she brings longstanding experience addressing trauma. Her background includes providing individual and group therapy in residential and outpatient settings, including community mental health centers and group homes, which informs a practical, experience-driven approach to care.

She uses an eclectic, client-focused style that draws on evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and family systems perspectives to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. This flexibility allows her to work effectively with co-occurring concerns like anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and relationship difficulties.

Dr. Body also addresses a broad set of life and relational issues including stress, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, grief, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care matters, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and perinatal mood concerns. As an LPC - a licensed mental health professional - she emphasizes a collaborative therapeutic alliance built on trust, respect, clear communication, and a shared commitment to the work.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Dr. Body commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, a collaborative approach that emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients explore their own goals and values. This method is suited to work on self-esteem, life transitions, relationship concerns, and finding clarity about purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she uses. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, mood regulation, and coping with stress. Sessions often include skill-building and homework that adapt easily to remote formats.

Mindfulness Therapy is used to cultivate present-moment awareness and stress management skills. Mindfulness practices can support regulation of emotion and attention, and they pair well with treatments for trauma, anxiety, and caregiver fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Dr. Body collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity across locations, and access support from a distance while working toward meaningful change.
