Candace Johnson, LPC

Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy and relationship concerns, and codependency. Candace also supports people dealing with addictions, caregiver strain, and life changes that leave them feeling stuck.

Candace trained in clinical psychology and completed a psychiatric practicum at Emory Decatur Hospital in Atlanta. That practicum included psychiatric assessments, crisis intervention in emergency settings, and running psychoeducational groups. Her background includes work in acute inpatient psychiatric settings and telephonic crisis intervention.

In sessions she uses practical, evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent starting point, and she blends in client-centered conversation, emotionally focused ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing as needed. She focuses on clear strategies people can use between sessions.

Candace aims to build a straightforward professional relationship. She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in relationships, and then helps clients try new ways of setting limits and taking care of themselves. Expectations are discussed early so goals and next steps are clear.

Her approach is direct and skill-oriented. Clients leave with concrete tools for managing anxiety, coping with grief, addressing codependent patterns, and improving communication. The emphasis is on small, practical changes that fit into daily life.
