About Kandace
Kandace Perryman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Kandace draws on 17 years of experience to guide clients as they look for clarity and change.
Her style is conversational and practical. She likens therapy to a guided search - helping people find answers that already feel familiar inside. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that make daily life feel more manageable.
Kandace blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect, cognitive behavioral ideas to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, and emotionally-focused work for relationship patterns. Other influences she uses include the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy when appropriate.
She gives straightforward, skills-based support alongside empathic listening. That can mean practicing new communication habits, trying different ways to handle stress, or working on attachment patterns and adoption or foster care related concerns. Kandace aims to make the process clear and doable for people who are busy or overwhelmed.
Her work is practical and collaborative. She helps people set clear goals, track small changes, and build on what already works. Prospective clients should review session options and scheduling details before booking.
Approaches you may use in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can explore their own solutions. It helps when someone wants a therapist who follows their lead and helps them notice strengths.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. It uses short, practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on patterns of emotion and connection in relationships. It helps people notice and name feelings and create new ways of responding to each other, which can improve closeness and reduce repeated conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust as progress is made. This is a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to involve a therapist during life transitions or when coordinating care across locations. Licensed professionals can explain how their chosen approaches translate to the session format you select.
