Candice Alig , LPCC

Candice Alig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) licensed to practice independently in Ohio and Kentucky. With eight years of experience in the mental health field, she has worked extensively with individuals and groups facing addictions, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, communication challenges, and family or relationship conflict. She brings nearly five years of focused work with people experiencing substance abuse, developing practical skills and insights that support recovery and long-term coping.

Candice earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling, both from Northern Kentucky University. Her interest in understanding people through their stories led her to counseling, where she aims to make a meaningful, positive difference in clients’ lives. She approaches therapy with kindness and a nonjudgmental stance, helping people identify and build on their strengths to move toward the life they want.

Her clinical work draws primarily on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based strategies, which she adapts to each person’s circumstances and goals. She values collaboration and tailors interventions to the individual needs of the people she works with, offering steady support as they navigate change and healing.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges and gives practical tools to manage symptoms and improve functioning.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility. It supports people who struggle with avoidance, difficult emotions, or patterns that get in the way of living a meaningful life by combining acceptance strategies with committed action.

Mindfulness-based approaches cultivate present-moment awareness and attention to internal experiences. These methods can reduce reactivity to stress, support emotional regulation, and complement work on trauma, grief, or chronic worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions using video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible. These options allow scheduling around work, family, and other commitments, and enable ongoing support between in-person visits when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide focused, evidence-informed care that fits different lifestyles and circumstances.
