About Candace
Candace Coston helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She offers straightforward support for issues such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, ADHD, and intimacy-related struggles. Candace is a licensed clinical social worker - LCSW - based in North Carolina and speaks English.
Her approach focuses on understanding what matters to each person. Sessions often start by looking at values, daily routines, and small things that bring joy.
Background and approach
From there she and the client set clear, achievable goals and try out practical steps between meetings. Candace uses a mix of well-known methods to match how someone prefers to work. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered listening.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing also appear in sessions when they fit the plan. She pays attention to how life events affect behavior and mood. That includes work stress, parenting strain, chronic illness, substance concerns, and grief.
The focus is on skills people can use right away and choices they can make to feel steadier day to day. Candace aims to make therapy practical and respectful. Conversations are framed around a person’s values and real goals.
The pace and tools are adjusted as progress unfolds, so people leave each meeting with something useful to try before the next session.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by shifting focus from avoidance to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and anger by practicing new ways to respond to problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and priorities and offers a supportive space where they can be heard and reflect on choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust them as progress is made in sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexible ways to connect. Video sessions let people work face to face from different locations, phone calls can be a quicker check-in or an option when bandwidth is low, and messaging suits shorter updates or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules while using the therapist's chosen approaches.
