About Candice

Candice Catoire is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She offers compassionate, respectful care and aims to meet each person where they are. Candice adapts conversations and plans to fit individual needs and values.

With five years of professional experience, she draws on several practical approaches to guide therapy. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than long lectures. Clients can expect direct yet gentle conversation that prioritizes what matters most to them.

Candice uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to try small changes that can make daily life easier. She also uses client-centered methods, which means she listens first and tailors the pace and focus to each person. Motivational interviewing is part of her work when people want help finding or strengthening inner motivation.

Her practice includes attention to body image, chronic pain and illness, life purpose, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, and pregnancy or postpartum mood changes. She also supports people facing compassion fatigue and seasonal mood shifts. Christian-specific counseling is available on request for those who want it.

Candice speaks English and practices in Washington. She encourages newcomers to take the first step even if it feels hard, and she helps people build strategies they can use between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and shaping sessions around the client's priorities. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clearer goals, or a steady space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or panic. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find their own reasons to change and build up motivation for difficult steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That conversation guides whether the focus is on changing thought patterns, building motivation, or simply providing a steady listening space. The plan can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins on hectic days. It can also allow people to continue care when life circumstances change, while keeping the focus on practical steps and conversations that help day-to-day functioning.
