Candace Johnson, LPC

Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem problems, depression, and addiction issues. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, career changes, compassion fatigue, and parenting or family-related pressures.

Candace draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions are practical and focused on simple strategies that can be used between meetings. She also uses client-centered methods, emotionally-focused work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing when those approaches fit the concern.

Her training includes psychiatric practicum experience at a hospital where she carried out psychiatric assessments, crisis intervention, and psychoeducational groups. That background informs her approach to safety planning and short-term crisis work. She has experience in inpatient psychiatric settings and in coordinating behavioral health services.

Candace has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and general adults in earlier roles. In current practice she helps individuals manage life changes such as adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and midlife transitions. She also addresses body image, codependency, communication problems, and issues connected to guilt, shame, and isolation.

Her style is direct and structured. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, practicing new skills, and setting small, achievable steps. People who prefer clear tools and a step-by-step plan often find this approach straightforward and practical.
