About Candiss
Candiss Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing anger, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting struggles. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addictions, and life changes.
Her approach centers on practical skills and straightforward conversation. She uses client-centered methods to listen and help people set clear goals. She mixes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to address thinking patterns, impulsivity, and strong emotions.
Candiss draws from mindfulness practices to teach grounding and emotion regulation. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people find reasons to change and keep going. Sessions often include skill practice, brief homework, and steps to manage anger or reduce reactivity in the moment.
Her background includes years in schools, domestic abuse services, substance abuse programs, and work with the juvenile and adult justice systems. That experience informs how she responds to crisis and complex stressors. She also has a stated focus on multicultural and LGBT concerns, and on first responder issues.
People can expect direct, accessible guidance that aims to reduce frequent outbursts, simmering resentment, or difficulty communicating under stress. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session and confirm current session options.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. CBT is useful for anger that comes from negative thinking patterns and stressful work or relationship situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for regulating emotion and reducing impulsive reactions, useful when anger feels overwhelming. Client-Centered Therapy is about listening and helping people set practical goals; it supports a collaborative plan for managing triggers and testing new behavior.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful together. That collaborative decision helps shape whether sessions focus on skills practice, problem-solving, or short-term behavior experiments.
The site biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people use sessions to practice handling real-life triggers between meetings and to build steady routines that reduce reactivity over time.
