    About Candice

    Candice Crenshaw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Alabama with eight years of clinical work. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life changes. Candice emphasizes clients' strengths and treats each person as the expert of their own story.

    She uses practical conversation to help people find clearer choices and small steps forward. Her work often looks at communication patterns, attachment concerns, and how childhood experiences affect current relationships. Candice also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, identity questions, and career uncertainty.

    Candice draws from several approaches to tailor care to each person. That includes Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She blends skills, reflection, and goal-setting in ways that fit the situation.

    Sessions are straightforward and collaborative. Candice listens for strengths, reflects back what she hears, and helps people try small, doable changes between meetings. She also works with issues like burnout or compassion fatigue for caregivers and professionals.

    People often come with worries about self-esteem, feeling isolated, or parenting strain. Candice aims to make progress feel manageable by focusing on what matters most to the person in front of her.

  2. How therapeutic approaches guide online work

    Candice uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. This approach focuses on listening, asking open questions, and drawing out the client's goals and values.

    She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's experience and relies on empathy and reflection to help them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when used, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and gives concrete tools for managing anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns.

    Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Candice will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend a mix of approaches that fits. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

    If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins between appointments, and reduce travel time. It also lets people try tools and skills in their everyday routines and then discuss what worked in the next session.
