About Candice
Candice Hart is an LPC who focuses on somatic-informed work and practical coping strategies. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related struggles. Her style is direct and compassionate, with attention to how the body and mind interact during stress.
She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small values-based actions. Attachment-based ideas guide work around connection and safety in relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped by what each person needs in the moment rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Candice has three years of formal experience as a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. Before licensure she spent many years in behavioral health roles, which shaped her practical, grounded approach to care.
That background informs how she helps people build resilience and routines that fit daily life. In sessions she uses plain language and hands-on strategies. People learn skills for coping, mood management, and shifting patterns that cause pain.
She also addresses issues such as body image, chronic pain and illness, caregiving stress, and financial worry when these affect mood and functioning. Candice aims to create a nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. She encourages small steps toward change and works collaboratively on goals like improving communication, reducing avoidance, and rebuilding confidence.
How somatic and evidence-based methods work online
Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily reactions and physical sensations that come with stress or trauma. Online sessions can include guided awareness of breath, posture, and simple grounding moves to help people feel steadier in the moment. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when hard feelings remain; it works well for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce mood symptoms and change behavior.Finding the right mix of these methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may shift over time as practical skills are tried and adjusted together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible. These options let people check in between sessions, practice skills in real situations, and access support from home or while traveling. The combination of somatic awareness, ACT, and CBT can be adapted to these formats to help people build steady habits and manage day-to-day stress.
