About Candice

Candice Alig is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor practicing in Kentucky with eight years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship and family problems. She also addresses trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar concerns, and struggles connected to codependency and caregiver stress.

Candice has provided both individual and group counseling in community and clinical settings. She spent nearly five years working closely with people experiencing substance use issues, and that experience shapes how she approaches addiction and recovery work now. Her academic background includes a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University.

In sessions she uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction. Expect clear, work-focused conversations about thoughts, behaviors, and small experiments you can try between meetings. She pays attention to how patterns in family of origin and communication habits affect current relationships.

Candice emphasizes collaboration; she helps people identify strengths and try new ways of handling stress, control issues, and codependent patterns. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation when anger or intense moods are present.

Her style favors straightforward guidance and skills practice over abstract theory. People who want concrete strategies for setting limits, coping with life changes, or managing cravings often find this approach useful.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors through short, practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems like people-pleasing or panic about relationships.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choosing actions that reflect personal values. This approach can help with patterns of avoidance, codependent habits, and coping with life changes.

Mindfulness-based strategies teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These tools can support emotion regulation and lower everyday stress.

Deciding which approach fits happens together. The therapist will talk about your goals, try different techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with a mix of skills practice and discussion.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine - for example a shorter check-in on a work break, not needing travel time, or choosing a phone option when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so the work stays useful even when schedules are tight.
