About Candice
Candice Mitchell is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or the daily weight of stress. Candice uses a gentle, steady pace so people can feel safer as they talk and notice what is happening in their bodies and minds.
She began this work after seeing how quietly anxiety and depression can erode sleep, relationships, confidence, and day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Many clients arrived having tried everything and still feeling stuck, so she built a practice aimed at meaningful relief rather than quick fixes. Sessions commonly include attention to bodily sensations and nervous system responses, alongside more traditional talk-based work. Candice takes time during intake to really hear a person’s history and current struggles.
She prioritizes building trust and a sense of safety before moving into deeper material. Progress often shows up as less overwhelming anxiety, softer emotional reactions, and a greater sense of grounding in everyday life. Her approach blends somatic ideas with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods.
She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and stay engaged in change. Phone and online formats are used to help clients feel more comfortable focusing on internal experience. Candice has seven years of clinical experience and holds the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, FL LMHC MH23557.
She continues learning about trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and body-focused ways to support healing.
How somatic and practical approaches work online
Candice uses somatic therapy to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body, and to practice simple ways to calm nervous system responses. This work focuses on bodily sensations and grounding techniques that can reduce overwhelm during daily life.She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s experience and pace. That means the therapist listens closely, follows what feels most important to the client, and adjusts the pace so people feel respected and understood.
CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is used alongside body-focused work to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical changes. This approach helps with anxiety, mood shifts, and problem-solving around everyday challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and will adjust methods over time if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and can help people feel more at ease when talking about difficult topics. The variety of options supports steady progress while accommodating different comfort levels and schedules.
