Candice AligLPCC

Candice Alig is an LPCC who focuses on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions and aims to help people identify strengths they can use day to day. Candice practices in Kentucky and brings eight years of experience in counseling individuals and groups.

Candice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. She combines these methods to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and ways to notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them.

Her background includes work with people affected by substance use, and she has nearly five years of focused experience in that area. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, bipolar mood challenges, anger, and a range of interpersonal problems like codependency and communication struggles.

Candice earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. She holds independent licensure as a professional clinical counselor in Kentucky and Ohio and has provided individual and group counseling across diverse settings.

In sessions she emphasizes kindness, nonjudgmental listening, and collaborative goal-setting. People can expect a mix of short-term skill work and longer-term exploration depending on their goals. She welcomes questions about approach and what a first session looks like.

How core approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and the life changes that come with pregnancy and early parenting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce distress and improve mood.

Candice uses these approaches alongside mindfulness practices to build skills people can use between sessions. She works with each person to decide which methods fit best. Figuring out the right approach is a collaborative process influenced by personal goals, daily routines, and what feels useful in practice.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit counseling into busy schedules, avoid travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills in the settings where stress actually occurs, and therapists can adapt exercises to what fits a client's day-to-day life.
