About Candice
Candice Alig is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor licensed in Kentucky and Ohio with eight years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, self-esteem problems, relationship and family concerns, and parenting stresses. She also lists family of origin issues among her focus areas.
Candice has worked as both an individual and group counselor. Much of her background includes supporting people with substance use concerns, and she spent several years focused on that work. She uses practical approaches and evidence-informed skills to help people manage strong emotions and difficult situations.
Her training includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology, both from Northern Kentucky University. Those studies shape how she listens for patterns and personal stories that matter to each client.
In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and client-centered methods when they fit the work. The emphasis is on helping people notice unhelpful patterns and try new, workable strategies.
Candice describes her approach as nonjudgmental and focused on identifying strengths. She helps people set realistic, step-by-step goals and practice skills between meetings. If family history or roles from childhood are affecting current choices, she can help name those patterns and work on practical changes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while focusing on the actions that matter most. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and problems tied to values and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness-based techniques teach attention and present-moment awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional control.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. That collaborative process helps decide which combination of CBT, ACT, mindfulness, or DBT-informed skills to use in sessions.
