About Candace
Candace Harren is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and compassion fatigue. Her tone is straightforward and supportive for someone who may be feeling overwhelmed.
Candace uses a warm, client-centered style. She listens first and works with each person to set clear, small goals. Sessions often focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. The aim is to make progress that feels achievable rather than overwhelming.
She draws on solution-focused ideas to identify strengths and options that already exist in a person’s life. That approach helps when someone needs concrete strategies for a specific problem. It can be useful for coping with life transitions, caregiver stress, or challenges related to adoption and foster care.
With 15 years of clinical experience, Candace has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including addiction, relationship separation, chronic illness, end-of-life issues, and persistent loneliness. She pays attention to how everyday routines and roles shape mood and stress levels.
Candace invites a collaborative relationship where goals are clear and progress is tracked. She asks straightforward questions, suggests practical tools, and checks in on what is working. Prospective clients can expect a calm, goal-focused process that emphasizes their strengths and next steps.
How client-centered and solution-focused work online
Candace uses client-centered therapy to make sessions feel personal and responsive. That approach means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what the person says, and follows the person’s pace to identify concerns and priorities.She also uses solution-focused therapy, which looks for strengths and quick steps that might help right away. This method is practical and goal-oriented, so sessions often result in concrete strategies to try between meetings. It can help with stress, grief, caregiver strain, and challenges related to adoption and foster care.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before choosing techniques to try. Clients and therapist check progress together and adjust the plan when needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is more helpful than a full session. Talk with the therapist during the matching step to learn which session formats are offered and what will best fit your routine.
