Candace Delis, LMHC, LPC

Candace Delis is a licensed clinician holding both LMHC and LPC credentials - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor - and she earned a Master of Arts in Community Counseling from Lakeland University after completing a Bachelor of Science in Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. With six years of clinical experience, she has provided care in crisis intervention and group therapy settings and has worked with adolescents, adults, and couples across a range of concerns.

Her approach is interactive and individualized, blending client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and solution-focused methods to build practical, client-specific plans. She works with emotional regulation challenges such as anger and anxiety, mood concerns including depression and bipolar disorder, trauma and grief, relationship and family dynamics, addiction, intimacy-related issues, parenting struggles, sleep problems, career stress, and other life transitions.

Candace strives to create a comfortable, accepting, and nonjudgmental atmosphere. She describes herself as relatable and progressive, and she notes that she does not present as a typical therapist - she has visible tattoos and aims to meet people where they are. She is married and part of a busy household that includes an 18-year-old stepson, three rescue dogs, three adopted cats, and recently added chickens and goats.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she encourages anyone ready to make change to reach out. Candace offers sessions through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client's perspective and builds support through empathy, active listening, and collaborative goal setting - it helps people who need a respectful, validating space to explore feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness practices and grounding techniques that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation for issues like anxiety, trauma symptoms, and sleep difficulties.

Candace Delis works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches fits best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so therapy remains practical and relevant to the client’s life.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility constraints. Candace provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different communication styles and schedules. These options make it easier to attend regularly, apply new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when life becomes busy or unpredictable.
