About Kandace

Kandace Perryman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, relationship and family concerns, and related areas like grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Kandace also addresses life transitions, ADHD, and coaching needs.

She uses practical, conversational sessions to help people notice patterns that get in the way. Conversations identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then test small changes to see what helps. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused approaches when these fit the person's goals.

Kandace helps with specific relationship topics such as communication problems, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and forgiveness work. She also supports people coping with pregnancy, postpartum depression, childbirth, caregiver stress, and first responder issues. Obsessions, compulsions, and body image are included in her focus areas.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. She guides people through steps to try new responses and notice results. Expect straightforward feedback and practical tools you can use between sessions.

Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults facing life change and relational strain. The LCMHC credential indicates a licensed counselor in North Carolina. Kandace welcomes people who want direct, solution-focused work and who prefer concrete strategies over long-term open-ended exploration.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions; it helps when someone wants a supportive, non-directive space to sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behaving that keep problems going and uses specific experiments and practice to change them; CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional responses and connection patterns in relationships to improve communication and closeness; it is often used when relationship distress or attachment issues are a concern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kandace will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and therapist decide whether CBT, client-centered listening, EFT, or a mix is the best fit and then try practical steps to see what works.

Confirm current session formats before booking to know which online options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a short update is helpful. They also let people use video or audio options depending on bandwidth or comfort so the therapy can fit day-to-day life without requiring major changes.
