About Candiss
Candiss Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of counseling experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses issues such as grief, addictions, self-esteem, and mood concerns.
Her approach is practical and problem-focused. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in the person's goals. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practice are used to build emotion regulation and present-moment awareness.
Candiss has a long background in social services and school counseling. That experience informs how she supports people going through crises, substance-related problems, domestic violence, or legal system involvement. She aims to introduce concrete coping skills you can use between sessions.
Sessions typically focus on clear goals and small, testable changes. She helps people work through communication problems, codependency, control issues, abandonment concerns, and commitment or intimacy struggles. Work may include steps for parenting stress, career questions, or dealing with discrimination and multicultural stressors.
She practices in Texas and offers care in English. The first session usually looks at current concerns, prior supports, and simple steps to try next. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
Practical approaches used in remote sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns.She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps conversations focused on the person's goals and experiences so sessions stay relevant and grounded. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are added as needed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions or relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying short-term exercises and adjusting strategies based on what helps.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It can also let people use audio-only options when bandwidth is limited or pick times that fit around school or work obligations.
