About Candice

Candice Mitchell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience supporting adults coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings a trauma-informed perspective that emphasizes nervous system regulation and somatic awareness, and she integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) alongside other therapeutic tools to help clients notice and work with internal parts that influence emotions and behavior.

Her approach anchors in thoughtful pacing and collaboration, beginning with intake sessions that prioritize understanding what a person is carrying and how stress shows up in their body and mind.

Candice aims to build safety and trust first, then use techniques from client-centered, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and motivational styles to reduce overwhelm, ease emotional reactivity, and support steadier daily functioning. She offers phone sessions and multiple online formats that some clients find less activating and more conducive to focusing on internal experience.

Practically oriented yet attuned to deeper healing, Candice works with people confronting a wide range of issues including relationship struggles, grief, self-esteem concerns, addiction-related patterns, sleep disruption, ADHD, and complex responses to trauma. Her practice in Florida reflects ongoing training in trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, Polyvagal Theory, and body-based approaches.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps people gently explore the different parts of themselves that hold emotions, beliefs, and protective strategies; it can be useful for working with trauma responses, self-criticism, and patterns that feel stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so the client feels understood and supported while making changes at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often supporting clearer coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This may mean beginning with regulation and safety, then layering in CBT tools or IFS exploration as readiness and goals indicate.

Online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing schedules, caregiving, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session rhythms, and access support from a licensed professional in Florida without traveling to an office.
