Candace Gregg , LISW-CP

Candace Gregg is a licensed independent social worker - clinical practice (LISW-CP) who focuses on helping people find clearer paths when they feel stuck. She uses direct conversation and practical steps to address stress, anxiety, addiction, mood concerns, and issues that affect daily life. Her tone is warm and nonjudgmental and she aims to make people feel heard from the first visit.

She draws on nine years of experience working across settings such as emergency rooms, home-based services, community mental health, private outpatient care, and inpatient psychiatric units. That range gives her familiarity with urgent needs and longer-term challenges. She has worked with people at many life stages and with varied concerns including grief, trauma, sleep problems, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

Candace commonly uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she blends methods to match a person's goals and personality instead of using a single model for everyone. Sessions focus on doable skills, clearer values, and steps that can be practiced between meetings.

Her additional focus areas include ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, family of origin issues, codependency, substance use, and topics related to kink and alternative sex culture. She also works with first responder stress, abandonment and attachment wounds, and communication or commitment difficulties.

Candace practices from South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. People meet her through scheduled video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging, and she supports collaborative coaching-style work alongside therapy.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small committed actions toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when emotions run high, which can be helpful for anger, mood instability, and relationship stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's goals, personality, and daily routines. If a strategy doesn't feel useful, sessions can shift toward alternatives that better match what someone wants to achieve.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and time permit. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days and are useful for brief updates, skill practice, or when a written check-in feels easier. These options aim to make regular work on coping skills and goals more manageable within a person's life.
