Candice Schalit , LPC

Candice Schalit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. She focuses on everyday struggles like sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and intimacy-related issues. Candice also supports people navigating life changes, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

She brings 13 years of clinical experience to sessions and uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person’s needs. Her style is warm and direct. She listens first, then helps set small, practical goals that fit daily life.

Candice draws on client-centered work that puts the person's experience at the center. She mixes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques are used to strengthen present-moment awareness and get to workable steps faster.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as body image, attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence effects. She also addresses fertility-related distress and eating and food-related issues.

Sessions are offered remotely in English, and international clients are accepted. Candice aims to make therapy practical and manageable, with an emphasis on steady progress and clearer day-to-day functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective, helping people feel heard while they decide what changes they want to make. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical exercises to change behavior and mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and overwhelming feelings.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest one or more methods to try. This collaborative process means plans are adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, frequent touchpoints between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, childcare, and travel.
