About Candice

Candice Schalit is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people facing life changes, stress, and relationship strain. She uses a warm but direct style to help clients make practical shifts. She aims to help people notice what is under their stress and find manageable steps forward.

Her background includes more than 13 years of clinical experience. Growing up in the Bronx as the child of immigrant parents shaped her view of resilience and cultural perspective. That life story informs how she listens and responds in sessions.

Candice blends several approaches depending on a person's needs. She draws from client-centered methods to build trust, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation. Mindfulness and solution-focused techniques also appear in her work when they fit the goal.

Sessions focus on clear, achievable goals such as managing anxiety, navigating grief, improving sleep, or working through parenting and relationship concerns. She aims to push gently when growth requires it, while staying grounded in what clients can actually do between meetings.

Candice offers remote sessions to increase access and convenience. She welcomes people who identify as LGBT and those dealing with trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating-related issues, caregiver stress, and many life transition struggles. Prospective clients are invited to begin by following the platform’s start process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to sort feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find patterns that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, includes practical tools for managing intense emotions and improving communication in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods suit each person's situation. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and adjust them when needed.

The profile notes that remote sessions are offered, which can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Remote meetings can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep regular appointments around work or family schedules. Confirm the exact session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled and delivered.
