More about me

Licensing: MA, LPC Years in Practice: 13 State: Georgia

“Life is like a coin, you can spend it on anything you choose, however you can only spend it once, therefore make the most out of it.”- Candace M. Johnson

Greetings, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 9 to 10 years’ experience within the mental health field. I hold a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Psychology, acquired from North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University. Upon the completion of my undergraduate studies, I obtained my Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University, Atlanta (formerly known as the Georgia Professional School of Psychology).

I've received rigorous training through my psychiatric practicum at Emory Decatur Hospital/Atlanta, GA. My training consists of completing psychiatric assessments with the medical and mental health population, crisis intervention within an emergency room setting, conducting psychoeducational groups, and the development of ethical and effective clinical skills.

My professional experience includes counseling individuals within an acute inpatient psychiatric setting, in person and telephonic crisis intervention, coordination of behavioral health services and conducting extensive psychological assessments to determine an individual’s level of safety. I have worked/counseled the following populations: Children and Adolescents, Young Adults, General Adults. My main theory of choice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. However, I tailor my therapeutic techniques, based off the individual’s presenting signs and symptoms. I also believe in establishing a genuine professional/therapeutic relationship with the individual, because that is the most effective way to see change within the individual.

Areas of Special Expertise:

Stress Management

Career Counseling

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Ms Johnson is ABSOLUTELY AH-MAZZIINNGG!! I lost my husband in late July 2023. A few weeks after I began therapy with her. It’s such a breath of fresh air for me each week bc I don’t open up to anyone else . This experience has taught me so much . It’s given me mental tools only attainable through this platform & her expertise. I’m forever grateful for this opportunity to work with such a poised and compassionate professional! Thank you! My journey through this BEAST called grief, now gives me hope that Better Help provided! ❤️

I just started with Candace and just talking to her once a week helps open up things that I need to work on for the week to help me stay positive and keep moving forward! She’s super kind and easy to talk to!

Dec 20, 2022

Overall

I have had the best therapy experience with Candace! She easily translates things I have trouble working through into simpler/manageable terms. In life, there’s always a lot of “Did I make the right choice?” And Candace has always been able to break it down for me so I know either a) I made the right choice or b) maybe there was a better choice in that moment and how to better identify that choice. I’ve been working with Candace for over a year and I often think “Candace would ask me….” And that alone helps me navigate life on a daily basis.

I was really happy to have Mrs. Candice as my therapist. She was a help who comes from the Very Highest of the universe. One of the strong points I appreciated about her is that she took the time enough to listen to me and ask me very specific questions. I am convinced that she is one of the therapists who is the pride of our community at Better Help! She is very professional and brilliant, I definitely recommend her.
