Candice Mitchell, LMHC

Candice Mitchell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of experience helping adults manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. She describes her practice as trauma-informed and focuses on helping people feel steadier in their daily lives. Her work aims to reduce overwhelming reactions and restore a sense of calm and confidence.

Candice became a therapist after seeing how quietly anxiety and depression can take over routines, sleep, and relationships. She built a independent practice to offer sustained, thoughtful support rather than quick fixes. Her approach centers on understanding how stress shows up in both the body and the mind.

Intake sessions move at a measured pace and prioritize safety and trust. She listens to each person’s story and looks for small, practical steps that help them feel more grounded. Progress can include less consuming anxiety, softer emotional reactions, and improved day-to-day functioning.

Her work draws from body-based ideas such as Polyvagal Theory and from Internal Family Systems, with an emphasis on nervous system regulation. She often uses phone sessions when people prefer to focus on internal experience without video.

Candice combines trauma-informed care with ongoing training in nervous system regulation and body-focused approaches. She aims to help people find relief that goes beyond symptom management and supports deeper healing over time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are. It focuses on the client’s goals and priorities and helps them feel heard so they can make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease reactivity and increase calm in everyday moments.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and pace. That process starts in the first sessions and evolves as progress is made and priorities change.

The biography notes phone sessions as an option that many people choose because it can make it easier to focus on internal experience and feel less self-conscious. If you need other session options, confirm available formats before booking so you know what will be offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while keeping the focus on practical skills and emotional regulation.
