About Candice

Candice Crenshaw is a licensed professional counselor in Alabama with eight years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and a wide range of relational and life transitions.

Background and approach

She works from a strengths-based view that honors each person's knowledge of their own story and highlights internal resources that can be mobilized during difficult times. Candice also assists with parenting and family challenges, intimacy and communication difficulties, issues related to identity and LGBT concerns, and concerns such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career questions.

Her approach centers on collaboration and respect, guiding clients to identify practical coping skills and deeper emotional patterns. She integrates methods such as Internal Family Systems alongside client-centered, cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, and emotionally-focused strategies to tailor work to individual needs.

Candice encourages those who are ready to begin therapy, recognizing that reaching out takes courage, and offers a supportive environment for exploring change and growth.

Approaches That Shape Online Support

Internal Family Systems helps clients notice and relate to the different parts inside themselves, offering a way to understand inner conflicts and heal from trauma or shame by encouraging compassionate internal dialogue. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their values and make meaningful changes at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the collaborative work. The therapist will listen to a client's goals, preferences, and history and then suggest methods that align with those needs, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds to ensure the process feels relevant and helpful.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to deliver a range of therapeutic techniques, from skills coaching to deeper emotional processing, while giving clients options to engage in ways that feel most comfortable for them.
