Candice Alig, LPCC

Candice Alig is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky. She brings eight years of hands-on experience working with people who are stressed, anxious, or facing life changes. Candice takes a warm, nonjudgmental approach that focuses on each person's strengths and goals. She draws on practical strategies so conversations lead to real next steps.

Her background includes substantial work supporting people with addictions, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. She has provided both individual and group counseling and spent nearly five years focused on substance use issues. That experience informs how she helps people manage cravings, setbacks, and the ripple effects addiction can have on relationships and daily life.

Candice earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. She holds LPCC licensure in Kentucky and Ohio. Her training and work history shape a straightforward style that centers what matters most to each person.

In sessions she commonly draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies. Those methods are adapted to the concerns at hand, whether that is managing anxiety, coping with grief, or building healthier communication patterns.

Candice aims to help people notice their strengths, practice new skills, and make workable changes. She presents therapy as a collaborative process and emphasizes kindness and practical problem solving as clients move forward.

How these approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance, or low motivation get in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress to build concrete coping skills. Mindfulness-based strategies teach attention and soothing practices to reduce reactivity and ground people in the present moment; these are often paired with CBT or ACT tools.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches so work feels tailored and practical rather than one-size-fits-all.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes practicing skills between meetings more convenient and helps maintain continuity when schedules change.
