Candace Gregg, LISW-CP

Candace Gregg is a licensed independent social worker with a practical, goal-focused approach to therapy. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside acceptance and mindfulness strategies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and life transitions. She aims to create a space where clients feel heard and respected while they work toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

With nine years of clinical experience, Candace has worked across many settings including emergency rooms, home-based services, community mental health centers, outpatient programs, and inpatient psychiatric care. That variety has given her experience with a wide range of concerns such as depression, bipolar challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, sleep problems, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

She uses a strengths-based, holistic stance and adapts methods to fit each person’s needs. That can mean skill-building from dialectical behavior therapy, motivational techniques to address substance use, or acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with difficult emotions. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings.

Candace also supports people dealing with family of origin problems, caregiver stress, communication and commitment issues, and first responder strain. She respects different life choices and works with clients on topics including LGBT concerns, kink and alternative sexual culture, and forgiveness work.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She collaborates with clients to set priorities, track progress, and adjust plans so therapy stays useful and relevant.

Practical therapy methods you can use online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing everyday stress.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying personal values and committed actions. It can help with chronic worry, grief, and life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills are useful for strong mood swings, anger, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Candace will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, personality, and daily life. She checks in and adjusts techniques so sessions remain practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video calls are close to in-person meetings for longer work, phone can be lower-bandwidth or easier for quick check-ins, and chat or text works well for brief skill practice and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make therapy easier to fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules.
