About Candice

Candice Hart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Oklahoma. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Candice also supports clients working through self-esteem struggles and major life changes. She uses relationship-focused tools like the Gottman Method alongside practical therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on building clearer communication and healthier emotional habits. Candice draws on three years of clinical therapy experience and earlier work across the mental health field.

She combines professional knowledge with personal insight from having faced and worked through adversity herself. Her approach centers on creating a calm, nonjudgmental space.

She helps people name patterns that cause pain and then practice small, doable steps to change them. That can mean learning new ways to cope with mood shifts, managing chronic stress, or repairing communication problems.

Typical focus areas include attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, body image, chronic illness and pain, and issues around control, guilt, and forgiveness. Candice also supports people handling divorce, financial strain, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Using relationship and acceptance approaches online

The Gottman Method offers structured tools for improving communication, reducing conflict, and strengthening emotional connection in relationships. It focuses on concrete skills such as turning toward bids, managing tension, and improving conversations about difficult topics.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes because it emphasizes small, meaningful steps rather than perfect thinking.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and bonds. Working on attachment can help with abandonment worries, trust issues, and building safer ways to connect with others.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals and try methods that fit their situation, adjusting as progress is made. Clients and the therapist work together to pick strategies that feel doable and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep practice going between sessions.
