Candice Catoire , LMFT

Candice Catoire is a Washington-licensed clinician with five years of professional experience who focuses primarily on working with women and teenagers. As an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist), she brings training in relational and developmental perspectives to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, motivation difficulties, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and the challenges of major life transitions.

Candice approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to reflect an individual’s needs and goals. She emphasizes practical, collaborative care that meets clients where they are and supports gradual, sustainable change. When requested, she also provides Christian-specific counseling for clients who prefer that orientation, offering faith-informed support only for those who ask for it.

Taking the first step toward therapy often requires courage, and Candice aims to make that step feel acknowledged and supported. She frames treatment as a partnership and adjusts her approach to fit the unique circumstances of each client.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Candice integrates several practical approaches to help people make meaningful changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work - this approach is often helpful for building self-esteem, processing life transitions, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, panic, and symptoms that interfere with daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based method that helps clarify personal values and increase readiness for change - it can be especially useful for motivation-related struggles and shifting habits.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Candice works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on how the client responds and what feels most effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from different settings and schedules, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change.
