Candis Cochran, LPC

Candis Cochran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee who helps people cope with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family struggles, addictions, trauma, and stress. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, anger, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy concerns. Her style is warm and supportive and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Candis draws on cognitive behavioral approaches along with client-centered and solution-focused strategies. She listens first to understand each person’s situation, then works with them to set clear, achievable goals. Sessions emphasize small, realistic changes that add up over time.

Her background includes work in residential and partial care settings and experience in a church counseling context. That range has shaped how she responds to crises and ongoing life stressors. She has spent three years providing counseling as an LPC and has longer overall experience in the mental health field in related roles.

In sessions she uses mindfulness skills, practical problem-solving, and communication tools from the Gottman method to address relationship and family concerns. She encourages clients to notice progress, celebrate small wins, and build skills they can use outside of sessions.

Candis approaches each person with respect for their cultural identity and life choices. She tailors the plan to fit real life, helping clients manage panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, codependency, grief, and the everyday disruptions that get in the way of feeling better.

Practical approaches for online counseling and relationship work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust so clients feel heard. It helps when people need a supportive space to talk through emotions, life changes, grief, or family stress and want a therapist who reflects and clarifies their priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches specific techniques for anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and impulsivity. Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on goals and what works now, making it useful for short-term problem solving and concrete change.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss your needs, preferences, and goals, and try methods that fit your situation. If something does not seem to help, adjustments are made together so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls work well for longer therapy and visual connection. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in fits your day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates, quick reflections, or brief emotional support between full sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep steady progress.
