Dr. Candace Body , LPC

Dr. Candace Body is a Georgia-based Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience supporting individuals and families through complex emotional and life challenges. She brings extensive work with emotionally challenged youth, attention-deficit hyperactivity behaviors, depression across ages, and trauma, combining practical skills and empathy to guide clients toward clearer coping strategies and improved functioning.

Her background includes individual and group therapy delivered in both residential and outpatient environments, including roles within a community mental health center and group home settings. This variety of settings has shaped a flexible clinical perspective and comfort working with co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and relationship difficulties.

Dr. Body describes her clinical stance as eclectic, drawing from evidence-informed methods to match techniques to each client’s goals. She frequently integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused methods, Mindfulness-based practices, Client-Centered principles, and Motivational Interviewing to address issues like stress, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, grief, parenting challenges, and caregiver fatigue.

She values the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership built on trust, honest communication, and shared commitment to the work. Dr. Body aims to help clients identify practical steps forward while honoring their individual strengths, backgrounds, and treatment goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Dr. Candace Body draws from several well-established approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s values and goals guide the process - this approach is useful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and strengthening self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often applied for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns by teaching practical skills for coping and problem solving. Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-focused awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can benefit those coping with trauma, chronic stress, or mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work itself. Dr. Body collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, then recommends or blends methods so the plan fits the individual and evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local access to licensed professionals. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session styles, and receive support in a way that aligns with everyday life.
