    About Candice

    Candice Catoire is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Washington. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and difficult life transitions. She also addresses compassion fatigue and related concerns that build up from caregiving or demanding work. Candice offers Christian-specific counseling when a client requests that approach.

    Her style is conversational and practical. She aims to listen first and tailor the pace and focus to each person. Sessions tend to center on building motivation, clarifying goals, and finding small steps that feel doable. She works with women and young adults most often, drawing on five years of clinical experience.

    Candice uses Motivational Interviewing to help people navigate ambivalence and increase commitment to change. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the therapist role collaborative and supportive. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behavior experiments.

    In sessions she may use narrative and solution-focused approaches to reframe problems and highlight strengths. That can mean telling your story differently, setting short-term goals, and tracking progress between sessions. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs and values.

    Many people come for help with body image, chronic illness or pain, postpartum concerns, panic attacks, OCD patterns, or figuring out life purpose. Candice aims to create a respectful space where those topics can be addressed step by step.

  2. How her approaches translate to online work

    Motivational Interviewing is about helping people clarify what they want and feel more confident taking steps toward it. It focuses on exploring ambivalence and building internal motivation, which can help with changes like improving mood, starting new routines, or managing health behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person's experience by offering nonjudgmental listening and reflective conversation. This approach helps people feel heard and understood while they sort through worries such as anxiety, self-esteem, or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through small experiments. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and patterns like obsessive thinking. Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, values, and daily life. That means adjusting pace, homework, and conversation style based on what feels useful. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid having to be on camera for every meeting. These practical benefits can help therapy fit alongside work, parenting, and medical care without promising a specific format.
