Dr. Candace Body, LPC

Dr. Candace Body is a Georgia-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings 20 years of experience to sessions. She speaks plain, direct language and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her style is collaborative and practical - she works with each person to set clear goals and steps they can try between sessions.

In the room she blends approaches to fit what a person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a frequent tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses client-centered listening and mindfulness practices to build awareness and reduce emotional reactivity.

Candace has a long background in residential and outpatient settings, including group work and community mental health. That experience informs how she supports people coping with grief, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care questions, and mood disorders such as bipolar and postpartum depression.

Practical problem solving is part of most sessions. She helps people with career stress, communication problems, impulse control, and managing life transitions. Sessions often include skill practice, goal-setting, and reviewing what worked after each week.

Her approach emphasizes partnership, clear expectations, and regular feedback. People who want straightforward tools, reflective listening, and plans they can try between meetings may find her style a good match.

Practical approaches you can use online

Dr. Body commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and increase awareness of emotions and bodily sensations.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and understanding. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try based on the client’s goals and what feels most useful. This collaborative process makes it easier to adjust approaches as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises that benefit from face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, and flexible scheduling when a full session isn’t possible. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, parenting, and travel.
