About Candice
Candice Schalit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are juggling stress, parenting pressures, relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and support for international clients is available.
Candice draws on her background growing up in the Bronx as the child of immigrant parents to inform her practical, person-focused approach. She uses clear, direct conversation to help clients identify patterns that get in the way of daily life. Topics often include sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and the specific stresses that come with parenting and blended family situations.
Her work mixes client-centered listening with structured techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Mindfulness and solution-focused strategies are also used to build coping skills and to find short-term ways to reduce immediate distress. Therapy sessions typically involve talking through current problems, practicing new skills, and setting small goals between meetings.
Candice aims to be honest and challenging when needed, encouraging clients to try different approaches and to test what helps. She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when those patterns show up in relationships. Practical issues like fertility stress, caregiving strain, and eating-related concerns are part of her caseload.

How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-centered therapy begins with the client’s perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clarify what matters most to the client so sessions stay focused on immediate concerns and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and introduces practical exercises to change those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and parenting stress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are often useful for anger, relationship strain, and intense mood swings. Candice will work with each person to identify which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and preferences. Deciding what to try is a collaborative process based on the person’s needs and what they want to change.
Her biography notes remote sessions, so confirm the exact online formats before booking. Many people find that remote work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shortens travel time, and lets them practice new skills between meetings in their everyday routine. Some formats may be better for brief check-ins or for sessions that do not require video, so ask about options when scheduling.
