Candice Alig

Candice Alig is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and life changes. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental manner to sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can use between meetings. Candice has worked in mental health for eight years and draws on that experience when supporting people through addiction, depression, grief, and relationship or family strains.

Her work often centers on building skills to cope with intense emotions and everyday pressures. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Mindfulness practices are included to help slow down when emotions feel overwhelming.

Candice has particular experience with substance use concerns, having worked with that population for nearly five years, and she brings that background into conversations about co-occurring issues. She also addresses topics such as self-esteem, communication problems, codependency, control issues, and caregiver stress.

Her education includes a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. Candice earned independent licensure to practice in Kentucky and Ohio and describes her approach as kind and collaborative.

People who choose her can expect a practical, down-to-earth style. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building small, doable skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. It is useful for stress, anger, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems in place and teaches practical skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Mindfulness-based strategies teach simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm during intense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT tools for a few sessions, then adding acceptance work or mindfulness practices as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week and can reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight and for using exercises and worksheets together during a session. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so people can learn skills and apply them between meetings.
