About Kandace

Kandace Perryman is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, grief, relationship strain, and transitions. Kandace uses a warm, guiding style to help clients find what feels authentic for them.

She keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. Kandace listens first, then helps people uncover patterns that get in the way. She offers practical tools for coping with strong emotions, improving communication, and managing daily pressures.

Her work draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people change unhelpful thoughts and actions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports deeper connection and understanding around intense feelings. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's own goals and experience at the center of the process.

Over 17 years of practice, Kandace has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, postpartum issues, and relationship challenges. She also works with adoption and foster care matters, blended family issues, and first responder stress.

Sessions aim to be practical and down-to-earth. Kandace helps people try different strategies, notice what works, and adjust as needed. To begin, she asks about current struggles and goals, then helps plan the next steps.

How Kandace’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's goals. Online sessions use that same listening-first approach to help people set priorities and try changes that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand strong emotions and deepen emotional connection when that is part of the goal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kandace will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend ways of working together. That choice is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments, reduce travel time, and fit check-ins into a busy day. It also allows trying tools and homework between meetings so the work can carry over into everyday life.
