Candiss Williams , LPC

Candiss Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who focuses on helping women and others manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She works with people facing relationship and parenting struggles, grief, trauma, addictions, mood concerns, and questions about identity. Candiss aims to create a straightforward, caring space where clients can talk through what matters most to them.

She brings eight years of counseling experience and more than a decade in social service roles, including work as a school counselor and in domestic abuse and substance abuse settings. That background shapes a practical approach to common problems like communication breakdowns, impulse control, and career or life-purpose questions.

Candiss draws on client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace, and she uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas to teach skills for changing unhelpful thinking and managing intense emotions. She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to increase awareness and help people find their own reasons to change.

In sessions she covers issues such as abandonment, codependency, commitment problems, and coping after divorce or separation. She also addresses multicultural concerns, prejudice and discrimination, first responder stress, and family problems while supporting LGBT clients and those navigating identity questions.

Therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Fees vary by location and are billed through a cancellable subscription. To get started, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person's lead. The therapist offers support, asks open questions, and adjusts pacing to match what the client needs, which helps people feel heard and understood in virtual sessions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear tools and exercises that clients can practice between sessions by phone or text.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills. Those skill-building exercises translate well to online formats and can be reinforced with short chats or between-session messages.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That might mean trying different techniques and adjusting over time so the plan fits the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, homework follow-up, and shorter emotional support between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing routines.
