Candis Cochran , LPC

Candis Cochran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee who brings a compassionate, strength-based approach to therapy. She has three years of experience working in the mental health field and has provided care across residential programs, partial care services, and faith-based settings. Candis works with individuals and couples facing depression, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, codependency, and related concerns, and she also supports clients coping with grief, trauma, addiction, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

Her commitment to this work is shaped by personal experience: growing up around people who struggled with mental health but did not seek help motivated her to reduce stigma and make support more accessible. That background informs her empathetic stance and her focus on helping people feel understood while taking practical steps toward change.

Candis uses a person-centered, multicultural, and integrative approach, meeting clients where they are and tailoring treatment to each person’s cultural identities and life circumstances. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method for couples work. Her style is warm and supportive, and she emphasizes collaboration, concrete goal-setting, and celebrating small wins as part of steady progress.

Approaches for online support and relationship work

Candis Cochran commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, which helps with self-exploration, relationship concerns, and identity-related stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behavior cycles, making it useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors. She also incorporates the Gottman Method for couples work, which emphasizes practical skills for improving communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection between partners.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Candis works collaboratively to determine what fits a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore strategies, test what helps, and adjust the plan over time so therapy remains personalized and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility - clients can connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or other convenient locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide focused, goal-oriented work that aligns with each client’s routine and comfort level.
