Candice Silebi , LMHC

Candice Silebi is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who brings a calm, empathetic presence to outpatient individual counseling. Born and raised in Barranquilla, Colombia, she works with English and Spanish speaking clients and focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their concerns and begin to develop practical coping strategies.

With three years of clinical experience, she applies cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and improve problem solving. Her approach emphasizes empathy and comfort, creating a laid-back atmosphere intended to support personal growth, boost self-confidence, and enhance coping skills for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationships, trauma, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Candice adapts evidence-based techniques to fit each person’s unique needs, working collaboratively to identify strengths and set achievable goals. She offers multiple ways to connect, including messaging, live chat, and phone sessions, and maintains limited evening availability to accommodate varied schedules. She aims to educate and encourage clients while tailoring interventions to the goals they bring to therapy, and she welcomes inquiries from prospective clients interested in starting care.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Candice commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on practical skills and homework that translate directly into daily life.

She also emphasizes skills-based coping training, teaching concrete tools for emotion regulation, problem solving, and improving communication in relationships. These techniques support recovery from issues such as addiction, grief, trauma responses, and difficulties with sleep or anger by building day-to-day strategies clients can practice.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Candice works with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adjust methods so therapy fits individual preferences and life circumstances. She helps clients experiment with different techniques and decides together which strategies feel most effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - clients can connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and varied comfort levels. Working remotely with licensed professionals makes it possible to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
