About Candance

Candance Hammonds is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who brings two decades of experience to her work.

Background and approach

She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and relationship difficulties, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and related issues like self-esteem, anger, intimacy struggles, and coping with life changes.

Her practice also addresses adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, codependency, infertility and fertility-related concerns, infidelity, narcissistic dynamics, post-traumatic stress, and women's issues. Her style centers on a collaborative, client-centered relationship that prioritizes the outcomes each person wants to reach.

Candance integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused strategies to tailor sessions to an individual's needs. She emphasizes practical skills and insight while keeping the therapeutic relationship at the forefront of change.

Clients can expect sessions aimed at clear goals and steady progress, with a practitioner who values listening, empathy, and evidence-informed techniques. Candance works with adolescents and adults and draws on long-standing clinical experience to guide people through life transitions, grief, and the aftermath of trauma.

Approaches and Online Options for Collaborative Care

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a strong working relationship so the individual sets goals and the therapist supports progress; this approach suits many concerns including relationship, parenting, and self-esteem issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which combination of client-centered, CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or trauma-focused strategies best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making regular work possible around schedules and life responsibilities. These options can help people maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the communication format that feels most comfortable while engaging in practical therapeutic strategies.
