Candice Alig, LPCC

Candice Alig is an LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with independent licensure in Kentucky and Ohio and eight years of experience in mental health. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family problems, anger, grief, parenting strains, trauma and bipolar concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use between meetings.

Candice spent several years working directly with people affected by substance misuse and has broad experience leading both individual and group counseling. That work gave her a lot of exposure to coping strategies for cravings, relapse prevention, and managing shame and guilt tied to addiction. She combines that background with approaches that suit common life problems like communication breakdowns and family conflict.

Her training includes a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology, both from Northern Kentucky University. She draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness-based stress reduction practices. These are used in straightforward ways – thought work, values-based action, and attention exercises.

In sessions she helps people name the patterns that keep anger and resentment alive. Then she practices concrete skills with them - breathing and grounding tools, behavior experiments, role-play for difficult conversations, and building small changes that fit daily life. Expect clear goals and homework that aim to reduce reactivity and improve communication.

Candice frames counseling as a collaborative effort. She listens to each person’s story, helps spot strengths, and works with them to build safer ways of coping. People who want practical strategies for anger, stress, or substance concerns often find this approach useful.
