Candice Alig , LPCC

Candice Alig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who brings eight years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She holds independent counseling licenses in Kentucky and Ohio and combines formal training with practical experience to help clients address issues such as stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, low self-esteem, relationship and family conflict, trauma, grief, and parenting concerns.

Her background includes substantial work with substance use populations, with nearly five years focused on substance abuse treatment and recovery. Candice earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University, and she draws on that academic foundation to understand clients through their personal stories and cultural contexts.

Candice uses a collaborative, strengths-based approach that emphasizes kindness and nonjudgmental support. She tailors evidence-informed techniques to each person’s needs, drawing primarily from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment strategies, and mindfulness-based practices to build coping skills, improve communication, and foster meaningful change. Clients can expect a warm, client-centered environment where their goals guide the work.

Candice values the opportunity to partner with individuals as they explore change, identify personal strengths, and move toward the life they want to create.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Candice frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed action toward meaningful life goals. ACT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often applied to symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and it supports practical skill-building for daily challenges.

Mindfulness-informed work complements these approaches by teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can improve emotional regulation and coping. These practices are helpful for clients dealing with trauma, chronic stress, and substance use concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Candice works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual needs.
