About Candida
Candida Phelps is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who offers calm, practical care for people facing loss, addiction recovery, neurodivergent challenges, and daily stress. She creates a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about grief, anxiety, or trouble with focus and routine. Sessions aim to be straightforward and useful from the first meeting.
She brings three years of clinical experience, including intensive work in a Medication-Assisted Treatment facility for addiction. Candida also earned a degree in Special Education and has worked as a special education teacher and a certified school counselor. That mix of roles gives her a practical view of trauma, learning differences, and recovery.
Her approach blends evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical strategies with trauma-informed care. She is certified in traumatic grief counseling and adapts tools to fit each person’s history and needs. In sessions she breaks big problems into small steps and focuses on skills people can use right away.
Candida emphasizes concrete coping tools, clear boundaries, and habits that support daily functioning. She works with people on stress, addiction, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting issues, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, and career pressures. Additional focus areas include communication problems, guilt and shame, and rebuilding self-worth.
People who prefer a practical, down-to-earth therapist may find her style a good fit. The work is collaborative and paced to the client, with the goal of helping people regain control and move forward with more confidence.

Approaches that inform online work and how they help
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and daily coping challenges. She also uses dialectical strategies to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills that can lessen intense reactions and support steadier relationships. In addition, trauma-informed methods guide how she adapts care for people who have experienced loss or abuse, with an emphasis on pacing and safety.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions remain practical and relevant.
Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for more consistent check-ins. Licensed professionals and therapists can offer focused skill practice, crisis planning, and ongoing support through remote appointments, and the same collaborative approach applies to online care as to in-person work.
