Candice Mitchell , LMHC

Candice Mitchell is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with seven years of clinical experience in Florida. She focuses on helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and related concerns. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier and more able to manage everyday life.

Candice became drawn to this work after watching how quietly anxiety, trauma, and depression can take over routines, sleep, and close relationships. She saw many people doing their best yet still feeling stuck and overwhelmed. That led her to a trauma-informed practice where calming the nervous system is central to change.

Intakes are paced and relational. Candice avoids rushing through a person’s story; she listens for what someone is carrying and how stress shows up in their body and mind. Early work often focuses on establishing safety and trust so other steps feel possible.

She blends conversational, skills-based work with attentiveness to bodily experience. Sessions may include practical tools for sleep, coping with intense emotions, and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns. The goal is to reduce what feels consuming and to build steadier day-to-day functioning.

Candice supports people facing a wide range of concerns including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, addiction, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and identity matters related to LGBT and gender dysphoria. She aims to move at a respectful pace and help people find relief that fits their lives.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy centers on the person in the room and relies on warm listening and collaboration to shape goals and next steps. It helps with building safety, increasing self-understanding, and deciding what changes are most important.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It suits worries about sleep, anxiety, low mood, and patterns that keep problems going.

Mindfulness therapy offers straightforward practices to notice thoughts, body sensations, and emotions without getting swept away. These practices can help reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day grounding.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and pace. Goals and techniques can shift over time as progress and preferences emerge.

Online therapy makes regular work more manageable through flexible session formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coping tools, or when a written approach feels easier to process. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and stay connected between sessions.
