About Candice
Candice Bruce is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with six years of professional experience. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. She also helps with relationship struggles, family concerns, and challenges related to addiction or grief. Candice emphasizes the strengths each person brings to therapy and encourages practical change at a manageable pace.
Her style centers on partnership and respect. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds goals together. Sessions focus on identifying useful tools and practicing skills that make daily life easier. Clients can expect straightforward conversations and concrete steps between meetings.
Candice uses approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing to guide work in session. She draws on mindfulness exercises and emotionally-focused ideas when relevant. These methods are used to reduce overwhelming feelings, change unhelpful thoughts, and strengthen meaningful connections.
People often come for help with parenting stress, career strain, self-esteem, eating concerns, or intimacy-related worries. She also supports those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, and bipolar mood challenges. Sessions aim to build coping strategies that fit each person’s routine and goals.
Candice welcomes English-speaking clients and accepts international clients. She invites prospective clients to reflect on what they want to change and to start with a short matching questionnaire to find the best next step.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of talking that helps people clarify what they want to change and build motivation to make those changes. It often works well for habits, addictions, and times when someone feels stuck.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them find their own answers to life problems and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful thinking, reduce anxiety or low mood, and try new behaviors between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will help sort which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That work is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing flexible scheduling. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight, while others use longer sessions for deeper work. Confirm the available session formats before booking so arrangements match your schedule and needs. -
