Candice Silebi, LMHC

Candice Silebi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in South Florida who brings a warm, empathetic presence to individual outpatient counseling. Born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia, she offers an approachable style that emphasizes comfort and nonjudgmental listening while helping clients explore their concerns and build practical coping skills.

Candice creates a laid-back atmosphere in which empathy and open-mindedness support a strong therapeutic alliance. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients strengthen self-awareness, improve communication, and develop problem-solving strategies. Her work focuses on increasing self-confidence, identifying personal strengths and goals, and teaching coping mechanisms tailored to each person's needs.

While cognitive behavioral therapy is a central component of her approach, Candice adapts her methods to fit individual circumstances and may draw from other evidence-based techniques as appropriate. She encourages education and collaboration, supporting and motivating clients as they pursue personal growth and more effective ways of managing stress, relationships, mood, and life transitions.

Candice offers multiple ways to connect, including messaging, live chat, and phone sessions, with limited evening availability. She typically checks messages twice a day, seven days per week, and welcomes those ready to begin the process of change.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

Two approaches that guide Candice's work are cognitive behavioral therapy and practical coping skills training. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve day-to-day functioning. Coping skills training focuses on teaching concrete strategies for managing emotions, improving problem solving, and building routines that support sleep, relationships, and overall resilience.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Candice works with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adjust techniques so treatment fits their situation and preferences. She emphasizes partnership and guidance, helping clients discover strengths and choose strategies that feel most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local access to care. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, clients can connect in ways that match their comfort and availability. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and allow therapists and licensed professionals to deliver consistent, evidence-informed support across different formats.
