Candice Williams, LPC

Candice Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress and anxiety, struggles with motivation, challenges to self-esteem and confidence, depression, and the process of coping with life changes.

Candice approaches therapy from a strengths-focused perspective, viewing each person as the expert on their own story and noticing the abilities they already have to address what is difficult. Her work emphasizes practical steps and collaborative planning to help clients build resilience and make meaningful progress on concerns that matter to them.

She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and honors that decision as an important first step. Candice aims to create a supportive environment where people can explore goals, practice new coping strategies, and move toward greater wellbeing under the guidance of a licensed mental health professional.

Approach Focused Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult emotions rather than getting stuck trying to eliminate them - it can be especially useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and experiments, which is effective for mood concerns, anxiety, and building coping strategies. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a collaborative relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Candice works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions based on ongoing feedback so the work aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and additional support can be provided through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access licensed professionals from different locations, while maintaining a consistent course of care.
