About Candace
Candace Coston is an LCSW based in North Carolina who supports people managing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, relationship concerns, and a wide range of life changes.
Background and approach
She draws on four years of clinical practice to help clients explore patterns that undermine wellbeing and to identify practical steps toward more meaningful day-to-day living. Candace emphasizes understanding what brings each person a sense of purpose and satisfaction, then uses that information to clarify values and concrete goals.
Her work blends acceptance and commitment principles, cognitive and mindfulness-based strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address emotional regulation, coping, and communication. She also brings experience working with addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to both thought patterns and behavioral changes that can improve functioning. As a licensed clinical social worker with LCSW credentials, she offers multiple session formats to fit different schedules and preferences and frames therapy as a process of discovery and skill-building rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then clarifies personal values to guide meaningful action; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often through practical exercises to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can be helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration allows treatment to be adjusted over time as priorities change and skills develop.
Online therapy in this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between appointments with ongoing contact as needed.
