Dr. Candace Body , LPC

Dr. Candace Body is a Georgia-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience helping people navigate mood concerns, trauma, and life transitions. As an LPC - a credential that indicates formal training and licensure to provide counseling - she brings long-standing practical experience working with emotionally challenged youth, ADHD-related behaviors, depression in both children and adults, and trauma.

Her caseload has often included co-occurring issues such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and relationship challenges. She has provided individual and group therapy in residential and outpatient settings, including community mental health centers and group homes, which has informed a flexible, case-by-case approach to care.

Dr. Body describes her style as eclectic, drawing from modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-based Therapy, and family systems ideas to match an individual�s goals. She works with a wide range of concerns - from stress, anger, and low self-esteem to parenting struggles, grief, caregiver strain, and career or life-purpose questions. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative therapeutic alliance built on mutual trust, clear communication, and a commitment to doing the work together.

Clients who seek her care can expect an approach tailored to their needs, with interventions selected to address symptoms, improve coping, and support meaningful change over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Candace Body integrates several practical approaches in her work, beginning with Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client�s goals and values guide the pace and direction of treatment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding practices to help manage stress, emotion regulation, and intrusive thoughts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Body works with clients to understand their needs, preferences, and goals, then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit each person�s situation rather than applying a single method across the board.

Online therapy with Dr. Body is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varying schedules and energy levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and allow therapy to fit into day-to-day life from different locations and timeframes.
