About Kandace
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with three years of experience, Kandace Graves helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes. She practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques and works with adults and young people on parenting, intimacy, grief, anger, bipolar challenges, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns.
Graves holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, completed in 2016. Her graduate training included a 12-month internship providing counseling in an urban Ohio community. That background informs her practical focus on how thoughts and feelings shape behavior and relationships.
She uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Rational Behavior Therapy, and Solution-Focused methods. In sessions she helps people notice thinking patterns, practice new coping skills, and apply strategies that worked in past situations.
Graves explains that counseling can bring up difficult emotions like sadness, guilt, or anger while helping people process those feelings and improve relationships. She emphasizes the need for client engagement and doing work outside sessions to meet goals.
Her practice follows the North Carolina Board of Licensed Professional Counselors standards. Communication during counseling becomes part of the clinical record and is available to clients on request. To begin, prospective clients use the matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Therapeutic methods used and what online sessions involve
She draws on Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and problem-focused work. Person-Centered Therapy is used to treat each person with respect for their perspective, allowing clients to set the pace and topics for sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for tolerating distress and managing strong emotions, which can be useful for anger, relationship strain, and mood instability.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kandace will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process may involve trying different techniques and agreeing on homework or real-life practice between sessions.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins between obligations, or reducing the need to arrange childcare. Licensed professionals can also adjust pacing, homework, and skill practice to match a person’s daily schedule.
