Candace Johnson , LPC

Candace Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 15 years of experience helping people navigate life's challenges. She often frames her approach with a simple metaphor - life is like a coin that can be spent only once - and she uses that perspective to encourage intentional choices and meaningful change.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from North Carolina A&T State University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University, Atlanta. Her clinical training included a psychiatric practicum at Emory Decatur Hospital in Atlanta, where she completed psychiatric assessments, provided crisis intervention in an emergency room setting, led psychoeducational groups, and developed core clinical skills for working with medical and mental health populations.

Candace's professional background spans acute inpatient psychiatric care, in-person and telephonic crisis intervention, coordination of behavioral health services, and comprehensive psychological safety assessments. She has worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and general adult populations, applying her skills across a wide range of presenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is her primary theoretical orientation, but she adapts techniques to fit each person's unique signs and symptoms and places high value on building a genuine therapeutic relationship as the foundation for lasting change.

Her areas of special expertise include stress management, career counseling, psychotic disorders, and caregiver support. Candace works with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, self-esteem, and life transitions, and she is currently accepting clients in Georgia.
