About Candice
Candice Alig is a licensed professional clinical counselor who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people make changes they want in life. She works in Kentucky and brings eight years of experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem struggles, and coping with life changes. Candice aims to create a kind, nonjudgmental space where people can name goals and try new strategies.
She has particular experience with substance use concerns, having worked with that population for nearly five years. That background informs her work with related issues such as codependency, relapse concerns, and communication problems. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress.
Candice draws on Motivational Interviewing alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches. She combines these with client-centered and mindfulness-informed practices to help people notice patterns, set realistic goals, and build skills for daily life. Sessions focus on realistic steps and practicing new ways of coping between meetings.
Her training includes a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Northern Kentucky University. She holds LPCC licensure in Ohio and Kentucky and has worked in both individual and group counseling settings.
People can expect a collaborative process where the counselor listens, helps identify strengths, and tailors methods to fit real-life needs. Candice emphasizes kindness and practical tools that people can use right away.

How these approaches translate to online care
Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and find internal motivation to try new behaviors. It is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and managing difficult emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust based on what helps in day-to-day life.
The original biography does not specify particular online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full evening is not possible. Some approaches translate well to remote work because they focus on brief skill practice, goal-setting, and at-home exercises that can be reviewed during sessions. Licensed professionals can tailor sessions so tools and homework fit into a typical week. -
