Candice Yu Simon

Candice Yu Simon is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 14 years of experience to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, motivation, and depression. She speaks English and Korean and aims to be respectful and compassionate in every conversation.

Her work centers on tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life changes. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and find steps that fit their day-to-day life.

Candice emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then shapes goals together with the person in the room. That can mean learning new ways to respond to anger, practicing strategies to reduce anxiety, or building routines that support mood and confidence.

She supports parents who want clearer approaches to everyday parenting challenges. She also helps people who feel stuck by depression or low motivation find small, manageable steps forward. Expectations are set together so progress is concrete and measurable.

Candice respects each person's cultural and language needs and can work in English or Korean. Her approach is steady and solution-minded, aimed at helping people regain control over stress and emotions. To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals, then together they plan the next steps.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Many clients benefit from short-term, skill-focused techniques that teach concrete ways to manage strong emotions. One common evidence-based approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop alternative responses to reduce anxiety and depression. Another practical approach focuses on behavioral changes - building small routines and experiments that increase motivation and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods together with the client to see what helps most. That collaborative process includes setting clear goals and adjusting strategies based on what feels useful and doable.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Many people choose virtual care because it can fit into work breaks, remove travel time, and make it easier to keep appointments during busy weeks. Online meetings can also let someone do shorter check-ins when that works better for their schedule.
