Candice Mitchell, LMHC

Candice Mitchell is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, or life changes. Her approach centers on slowing down, building safety, and helping people notice how stress shows up in their bodies and thoughts.

She began this work after seeing how anxiety and depression quietly erode sleep, relationships, and confidence. That led her into trauma-informed private practice, where she supports people aiming for deeper relief instead of just symptom management. Sessions begin at a thoughtful pace to avoid rushing through a person’s story.

During intake she listens for what you are carrying and how stress affects your body and daily life. Early work often focuses on simple steps to feel steadier and less reactive. Over time the goal is for anxiety to feel less consuming and for emotional reactions to soften.

Candice integrates body-aware approaches alongside talk work. She emphasizes nervous system regulation and ways to build grounding in everyday routines. She also uses strategies from cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches to address patterns that keep people stuck.

Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns such as grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, and issues tied to gender and identity. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that keep problems going. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep issues by teaching practical tools and step-by-step experiments.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person's pace. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to make sense of what they are feeling and to set their own goals.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, comfort level, and day-to-day needs. Plans are adjusted over time as progress and preferences become clearer.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats when booking since options can change. Phone sessions are mentioned in the biography as one available option and are often chosen because they can reduce self-consciousness and make it easier to focus inward. Online work can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use grounding skills between meetings.
