About Candice
Candice Halley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 16 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common concerns adults bring from home and work, such as stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship issues, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify problems and set practical goals. Sessions often include skills practice and reflection. Candice draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to guide that work.
Clients can expect a calm, task-focused style that combines listening with hands-on techniques. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns, try different coping strategies, and strengthen communication skills. That includes addressing sleep and eating concerns, addictions, grief, and intimacy-related issues.
Her background includes long-term clinical work with adults facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people dealing with career pressures, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and other co-occurring conditions.
Candice aims to help each person find concrete steps they can use between sessions. If you are thinking about starting, confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered.
How sessions work
Using CBT, DBT, and client-centered work for everyday problems
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and managing stress by practicing new skills and testing small changes.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help with intense emotions, anger, relationship strain, and coping through difficult situations.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist supports people as they talk through concerns and choose which strategies to try next. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing may also be used to build awareness and motivation for change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That means sessions can change over time based on what helps most.
Confirm available session formats before you book since formats are not specified here. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt the chosen approaches so they work in remote sessions and help clients practice skills between meetings.
