Candece Cooper-Charles, LPC

Candece Cooper-Charles is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas who brings focused experience supporting both adults and children. She has five years of professional work with adults and twelve years working with children, concentrating on stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and life transitions. Her practice also addresses career concerns and compassion fatigue, and she works with a range of relationship and family issues including adoption and foster care, attachment challenges, blended family dynamics, and family of origin patterns.

Trained in EMDR, Candece applies trauma-informed, evidence-based techniques to help people process difficult memories and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life. She emphasizes practical coping skills for managing anxiety and building confidence while also exploring underlying patterns like codependency, abandonment concerns, or communication and commitment challenges. Candece creates an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly and safely.

Recognizing that beginning therapy takes courage, she aims to make the first steps approachable and supportive. Clients work collaboratively with her to set goals, develop strategies, and track progress toward greater emotional balance and functioning.
