About Candice
Candice Crenshaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience in Alabama. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strains. Candice speaks plain language and centers sessions on each person's strengths and goals.
Candice believes clients know their own stories best. She uses that knowledge to help people notice what already works and make small, steady changes. She emphasizes clear steps you can try between sessions so progress feels real and manageable.
Background and approach
In session she listens, asks focused questions, and offers tools proven to help with worry and mood problems. She draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral work and skills-based approaches to help people change unhelpful thoughts and cope better in the moment. She also uses emotion-focused ideas to strengthen important connections and address painful feelings.
Candice helps people navigate parenting stress, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and attachment-related worries. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and career or life-purpose questions. Her style is calm, direct, and collaborative.
If you are juggling work, family, or big life changes, she helps break problems into bite-sized steps. Candice offers a straightforward approach for people who want clear strategies and honest conversation about progress and setbacks.

Approaches that guide online care
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center of each session and focuses on listening, empathy, and building on strengths to help with stress, parenting strain, and relationship issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework, which can help with anxiety, depression, and daily coping. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication, useful for strong mood swings and intense reactions.Choosing the most helpful approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match your routine. Video is useful for longer appointments and face-to-face conversation, while phone calls or chat can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Text-based messaging and live chat make it easier to check in between sessions or to use short, focused support when life feels busy.
