I have worked with a variety of clients, as individuals or couples, who have experienced a range of mental health issues. For many individuals, identity and attachment has been a troubling factor, everyone wants a sense of acceptance, significance, and security. Additionally, I spent two years in west Africa (2017-2019) working with trauma related issues. My counseling style is geared toward welcoming clients to feel at ease and comfortable in the therapy process. I utilize clinical research on the Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotional-Focused Therapy (EMT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and the use of an "Empirical-Faith-based" Client-Centered Therapy process. Currently, I am working on an "Attachment and Trauma base" certification. My approach to counseling is holistic meaning, I look at the human condition as a bio-psycho-spiritual composite. All three elements impact our daily lives. My goal is to help you become all you were meant to be. To "fully know yourself" and enjoy the life God wants for you. I look forward in helping you take this journey of healing.

Details: My practice hours begin Monday at noon (12pm EST). Regular hours start at 10 am EST Tuesday-Friday, and varies to provide multiple time zones and work schedules. Since I do provide global therapy to English speaking people, time zones can become an issue, so if needed, I will personally arrange Wednesday-Th-Friday early hours before 10am or a late Tuesday evening (USA; EST) solely reserved for those regions in and around times zones like Australia. I lovely do try to care for the needs of other, if I am able without bringing a burden on myself and my family. Additionally, I reserve my weekends to bring me refreshment and rest, or serve in my community in my efforts to meet the continuing needs of others. Thank you for honoring this for me and everyone involved. I generally can respond at least once per morning and once per evening, sometimes more! You can also book a live session with me ahead of time. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support.

Navigating today's complicated world can be incredibly difficult... Romantic relationships, family, job, finances, health, general stress... And who can we talk to when we need to confide our deepest challenges? Who do we turn to when we've tried everything we can think of and finally realize we need some help? Choose a therapist who gets real results! Unlike most of my colleagues who mainly utilize Psychoanalytic and Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) therapies, my practice also uses Solution-Focused and Motivational-Enhancement approaches. I've extensive experience successfully counseling clients through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, substance use (including food/weight gain), confidence and self-esteem, sexual and performance issues, grief/loss and trauma, as well as other more serious psychological challenges... As a generalist I will help you face any and all obstacles that have stood in the way of your becoming the best you that you can be. Whether this is your first time seeking help or if you've not gotten the results you hoped for from therapy in the past, together we will take a fresh new approach, make quick progress, and then support those gains as you move forward... Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed, not endured. You deserve some inner peace, so let's get you on the road towards a fresh start!

Candice Mitchell
I’m a trauma-informed therapist who supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. My work integrates Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS), with a focus on helping your nervous system settle so real change can happen. I offer sessions by phone, which many people find allows them to feel safer in their bodies, less self-conscious, and more able to focus on what they’re experiencing internally. I was drawn to this work after seeing how quietly anxiety, trauma, and depression can take over daily life—disrupting sleep, relationships, confidence, and a sense of safety. I repeatedly met people who were doing everything they could and still felt overwhelmed or stuck. I wanted to help people experience real relief, not just manage symptoms. That path led me into trauma-informed private practice, where I help clients feel calmer, steadier, and more like themselves again. When we begin working together, we move at a thoughtful, supportive pace. Intake isn’t about rushing through your story; it’s about understanding what you’re carrying, how stress shows up in your body and mind, and what feels most important right now. We focus on building safety and trust first. Progress often looks like anxiety becoming less consuming, emotional reactions softening, and a greater sense of grounding in everyday life. I work best with adults who are seeking meaningful relief and are open to deeper healing at a pace that feels respectful and manageable. I’m committed to ongoing learning because effective therapy should continue to evolve. I regularly pursue advanced training in trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and body-based approaches, including Polyvagal Theory and IFS. I’m especially interested in how stress and trauma live in the body—and how therapy can help you feel safer, more regulated, and less overwhelmed in daily life.

Find a therapist near you in Glen Saint Mary, Florida
Finding a therapist near you in Glen Saint Mary, Florida starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Florida is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you.
The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Florida, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Florida, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.
Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.
Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Florida

In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows.

Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.
