Candace Thom-Rogers

Candace Thom-Rogers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey with 24 years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck after change, people wrestling with anxiety or depression, and those sorting through trauma or relationship stress. Her profile notes life purpose among her focus areas, and she also helps with issues like identity and LGBT concerns.

Candace uses a trauma-informed, strengths-based way of working. Sessions are collaborative and practical. She offers DBT-based skill building and can include faith-related perspectives when clients want that included.

Many people come to her feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. In conversation she listens for patterns that get in the way and introduces tools to manage intense feelings and improve communication. She balances direct feedback with concrete techniques to practice between sessions.

Her approach includes short-term skills work as well as longer work on deeper issues. That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, practicing new ways to set boundaries, or talking through past hurts and how they show up now. Candace aims to help people regain steadiness and clearer choices in daily life.

To begin, visitors follow the service flow to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location.

Approaches used in remote sessions

Many of Candace's described techniques come from trauma-informed work and DBT-based skills. Trauma-informed work means noticing how past harm affects current reactions and learning ways to reduce reactivity and rebuild safety in relationships and daily life. DBT-based skills focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and practical steps for communicating more effectively and reducing impulsive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may involve trying short-term skills training first, then moving to deeper processing if needed, or blending approaches over time based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients practice tools in the settings where they live and work while getting guidance from a licensed professional.
