About Syveria(Candy)

Syveria (Candy) Ford is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who helps people navigate stress, mood concerns, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Background and approach

With 16 years of professional experience, she draws on practical strategies and empathic listening to support clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, anger, and self-esteem issues. Her work also includes coaching around career questions, parenting struggles, blended family dynamics, and recovery from domestic violence.

Ford creates a collaborative atmosphere where clients' feelings and goals guide the process. She blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered and solution-focused practices to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

Whether addressing communication problems, impulsivity, or post-traumatic stress, she aims to empower people to build skills, strengthen relationships, and find clearer direction. Sessions may involve practical coping tools, shifts in thinking patterns, and exploration of emotional responses to foster sustained change.

Ford welcomes individuals who are ready to take steps toward greater fulfillment and resilience and supports them through the challenges of change and growth.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Syveria Ford uses a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques and emotionally-focused therapy to guide online sessions in ways that fit each client's concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete tools for anxiety, mood disorders, and problem-solving. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to underlying emotional experiences and patterns in relationships, helping people better understand and shift how they connect with others and manage intimacy-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic collaboration. Ford works with clients to determine which methods best align with their goals and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time so sessions remain relevant and goal-oriented. Clients can expect a balance of skill-building, emotional exploration, and practical problem solving based on their needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for flexible scheduling and varied ways to engage between sessions. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, busy work weeks, or while managing parenting and family responsibilities, supporting consistent progress toward treatment goals.
