About Kandace
Kandace Perryman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting struggles, relationship strain, grief, and low self-esteem. She works with concerns like depression, anger, intimacy issues, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her approach aims to help clients uncover their own strengths and make practical changes. Kandace prefers simple, straightforward sessions that focus on what matters to each person.
She listens without judgment and guides clients to find answers that already live inside them. Sessions mix talking, skill practice, and coaching so people leave with clear next steps.
Her work draws on several therapy approaches, including client-centered work that puts the person’s experience first, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and relationship-focused methods such as the Gottman Method. She adjusts tools to match each person’s needs instead of using a single fixed plan.
With 17 years of clinical experience, Kandace brings steady support during life transitions like adoption, blended family changes, postpartum challenges, divorce, and caregiving stress. She also addresses specific concerns such as trauma, sexual assault, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and financial or career stress.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled online through the Start Therapy process. Kandace works collaboratively, helping people set realistic goals and try manageable steps between meetings.
The focus is on practical progress and on finding what helps each person feel more like themselves again.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for improving communication, rebuilding trust, and managing conflict in relationships. It offers concrete exercises and conversations that can be practiced during and between sessions to change interaction patterns.Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and creating a respectful space for people to explore their feelings and goals. This approach helps clients gain clarity and self-direction through gentle reflection and support.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by breaking problems into manageable steps and practicing new skills. It often includes specific exercises and homework to track progress and build new habits.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. Kandace works with clients to identify which approaches match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as work progresses. That collaborative process helps keep therapy relevant and practical.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or use less bandwidth, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to sustain work over time and to fit therapy into a busy life.
