Candace Delis, LMHC, LPC

Candace Delis is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor based in Wisconsin. She brings six years of clinical experience and a practical, down-to-earth style to sessions. Candace aims to make people feel comfortable and heard while focusing on clear, usable tools for everyday life.

She creates a welcoming and accepting space where clients can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. Candace values direct, interactive sessions and avoids labeling people by their diagnoses. She prefers to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s needs rather than follow a one-size-fits-all script.

Her background includes work in crisis intervention and group therapy settings, which informs how she responds when emotions run high. Candace uses cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and set practical goals. She also draws on mindfulness strategies to help with grounding and emotional regulation.

Candace has experience with addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and caregiver stress. She also supports clients navigating blended family challenges, communication problems, codependency, and sexual concerns tied to BDSM and kink culture. Sessions are offered in English.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She works with people to build coping skills, improve communication, and create small, achievable steps toward change. Those ready to begin are guided through a simple matching and scheduling process to get started.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily struggles because it focuses on small, practical changes to thinking and action.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. This approach centers on the person’s experience and goals, and it supports building insight and confidence through empathetic, nonjudgmental conversation.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. These practices can help with anxiety, sleep issues, and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to blend methods based on needs, goals, and personal preference. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust plans when something isn’t helping.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, caregiving schedules, or other busy routines.
