Candice Catoire, LMFT

Candice Catoire is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those coping with compassion fatigue and related concerns. Candice aims to meet clients where they are and offer a respectful, compassionate space to start talking things through.

Candice favors straightforward, collaborative work. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She combines that with client-centered conversation to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding momentum for change.

Narrative and solution-focused techniques appear in her practice as well. These methods help people reframe difficult stories and build practical steps toward clearer goals. Sessions tend to be goal-oriented and paced to match what each person needs.

Candice will tailor the topics you talk about and the strategies you try to your situation. She can include faith-based perspectives if a person asks for that approach. Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative - describing options, checking in on what’s helpful, and adjusting as needed.

People often come for short-term support around a specific issue or for ongoing work into deeper patterns. Candice aims to make therapy understandable and usable in everyday life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and then try small experiments to see what changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and many daily stressors and often includes worksheets or brief between-session practice.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s pace. The therapist reflects what she hears and helps the person clarify goals and values. This approach is especially helpful when someone needs a patient space to sort their feelings and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Candice works collaboratively to pick methods that match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She describes options, checks how they feel in session, and adjusts the plan together with the client.

Online therapy makes attending sessions more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats can help fit therapy into busy days or when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
