Candice Catoire

Candice Catoire is a Washington-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with five years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Candice also lists life purpose, body image, chronic illness and pain, and several perinatal concerns among her areas of attention. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients at this time.

Candice uses practical talk therapy that centers the person's experience and goals. She draws on client-centered methods to listen first and follow the client's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding motivation for change.

In sessions she tends to focus on concrete steps and short-term goals. That can include setting small experiments, problem-solving around daily hurdles, and naming obstacles to motivation. She can include narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories people tell about themselves. Solution-Focused methods are used when clients want quick, goal-oriented change.

Candice offers Christian-specific counseling when asked, and only for clients who request that approach. She emphasizes respectful and sensitive communication and adapts conversations to what a client brings into the room. The practice uses a subscription model for scheduling that can be canceled at any time.

To begin, prospective clients follow the online sign-up flow, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. The therapist works from Washington and holds the WA LMFT credential.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured approach that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and difficulties with motivation. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns, giving people space to shape the topics they want to address. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational method that helps people find internal reasons to move toward change and can be useful when motivation feels low.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Candice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. She adapts techniques over time if something is not helping or if priorities shift.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also gives flexibility for sessions when someone needs a quieter moment, prefers not to be on camera, or wants to schedule appointments around work or parenting demands.
