About Candice

Candice Hart is an LPC who integrates Internal Family Systems with practical, evidence-informed therapies to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines person-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral tools and Acceptance and Commitment strategies to help clients notice patterns, name hard emotions, and try new ways of responding. Her work emphasizes building self-compassion, improving mood regulation, and increasing resilience when facing depression, low self-esteem, or relationship stressors.

Drawing on three years of professional experience as a therapist and a long history in the mental health field, she brings both clinical training and lived insight to the work.

Candice focuses on practical coping skills for chronic pain, caregiver stress, and adjustment to significant changes, while also addressing deeper issues such as attachment wounds, abandonment fears, guilt and shame, and struggles with life purpose.

She aims to create a nonjudgmental therapeutic space where clients can explore difficult material at their own pace and develop sustainable strategies for everyday challenges.

Integrating Internal Family Systems and ACT into online care

Candice often uses Internal Family Systems to help clients identify and relate to different internal parts, allowing for gentler self-exploration and healing from trauma or persistent emotional patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used alongside that work to clarify values, increase psychological flexibility, and encourage actions that align with what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of her toolkit, focusing on how early relational patterns shape current connections and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist assess what helps most in session and adjust the plan over time to support progress and practical coping.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel. These formats allow for real-time skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and options that suit different communication styles and schedules.
