Candice Alig , LPCC

Candice Alig is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood concerns. She practices in Kentucky and brings eight years of experience working with individuals on issues like depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. She emphasizes kindness and a nonjudgmental stance in early sessions to help people feel heard and safe. Candice blends cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment strategies, and mindfulness-based practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build workable habits. She has nearly five years of focused work with substance use concerns and draws on that background when addressing addiction and co-occurring issues. Sessions often include skill practice, goal setting, and problem-solving tailored to each person's situation. She also supports people navigating relationship conflict, family-of-origin issues, codependency, and divorce or separation. That work can involve improving communication, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions like anger or shame. Caregiver stress, feelings of emptiness, and issues around commitment and abandonment are also part of her focus. Candice earned a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University after completing a bachelor’s in anthropology. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps clients identify strengths they can use in daily life. Her approach is straightforward and focused on small, usable changes rather than jargon. People can expect a steady, supportive working style that mixes talk, practical exercises, and mindfulness techniques. Candice aims to help each person move toward the life they want at a pace that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress and includes concrete tools to practice between sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take value-driven actions even when difficult feelings are present. This approach supports people coping with loss, chronic stress, or ongoing life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions start with practical questions about what someone wants to change and then adapt techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill teaching, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging fits short check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage caregiver responsibilities, or keep regular contact without travel.
