Candice Catoire is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Washington. She focuses on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. She also addresses women's issues, body image, postpartum concerns, and related challenges.

Candice keeps sessions direct and respectful. She listens first, then helps people name what is happening and decide on practical next steps. Conversations are tailored to each person's goals, pace, and values.

Her work uses a few straightforward methods to help people move forward. She helps clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also supports people in telling their story differently so it feels less stuck.

Candice has five years of professional experience as an LMFT in Washington. She offers Christian-specific counseling when clients request that approach, and otherwise focuses on the priorities the client brings to sessions.

Sessions may include short-term problem solving or longer work on values, self-worth, and life transitions. People who want a collaborative, goal-focused style tend to find this helpful. Conversations are aimed at practical change and clearer direction.

How these approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It usually involves setting small experiments or homework to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can be done between video or chat sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation where the person sets the agenda. The therapist listens deeply and reflects what matters most to the client to help them find their own answers. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or unmotivated by clarifying values and building small steps toward change through empathetic questioning.

Choosing the right approach is often a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. From that conversation they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is observed.

Online sessions make that collaborative work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer brief, on-the-go support and a way to track progress between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care.
