“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
Psychotic Disorders

Additional areas of focus:Addictions, LGBT, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Trauma and abuse, Anger management, Career difficulties, Coping with life changes, Compassion fatigue, Adoption and foster care, Body image, Caregiver issues and stress, Codependency, Commitment issues, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Domestic violence, Emptiness, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Isolation / loneliness, Jealousy, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Mood disorders, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Post-traumatic stress, Prejudice and discrimination, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Self-harm, Self-love, Sexuality, Social anxiety and phobia, Women's issues, Workplace issues, Young adult issues
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Candace Johnson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I am a recent widow and I struggle with new areas where I used to have a partner to help with. I would be all alone if it were not for Candace Johnson. New problems arise, almost weekly. That would send me into a dark place if I did not have Candace to talk to.

Candace, I appreciate your therapeutic approach. I gained insight into my struggles. You also helped keep me accountable to myself and for that I am grateful. Your style is warm and eases the stigma and barriers of therapy. If I need anything in the future, I hope that I can get in with you again.

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!
Written on Dec 20, 2022 after therapy with Candace for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, family conflicts, grief, anger management, and compassion fatigue
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.
