Candice Catoire

Candice Catoire, LMFT, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue and concerns around body image, chronic illness, or sleep and mood shifts tied to the seasons. Her tone is warm and respectful, and she aims to make first steps easier for anyone reaching out for help.

Candice keeps sessions practical and person-focused. She listens first, then shapes a plan based on each person’s goals. Her work draws on conversational methods that encourage motivation and clearer thinking rather than long lecture-style sessions.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered techniques. Those methods help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test small changes, and build coping skills that fit everyday life. She also uses solution-focused and narrative techniques when they match a person’s goals.

Candice has five years of clinical experience and is licensed as a marriage and family therapist in Washington. She can include Christian-specific counseling when a client requests it, and she aims to honor each person’s background and values during sessions.

If someone is pregnant or newly parenting, struggling with panic or OCD symptoms, or navigating life purpose and young-adult transitions, Candice offers conversations aimed at practical steps. She works to make goals clear and manageable, with concrete checkpoints along the way.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and shapes the conversation around what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It uses simple experiments and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and improve mood in measurable ways.

Motivational Interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck. It helps clarify personal values and strengthens the motivation to try small, manageable steps toward goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to pick methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single fixed method. That partnership helps adjust strategies over time as progress and priorities change.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, since specific formats were not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, avoid travel time, and schedule shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful. These practical benefits help therapy feel more manageable while focusing on real steps toward clearer thinking and better daily routines.
