About Candace

Candace Alvor is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience practicing in Utah. She describes herself as a Christian therapist and a mother who balances many roles. Candace focuses on helping people work toward spiritual, personal, and professional goals. She lists concerns such as addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and codependency among her areas of focus.

Candace uses straightforward conversation and steady listening to help people clarify what matters to them. She works from client-centered principles, which means she pays attention to each person's goals and pace. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to address thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck, and solution-focused ideas to identify practical next steps.

In sessions she aims to be someone a person can count on to listen and reflect back what matters. That might look like talking through relationship patterns, practicing ways to set boundaries, or breaking big problems into manageable steps. She names parenting, compassion fatigue, and life transitions as common topics she supports.

Candace welcomes conversations that include spiritual or faith-based goals when that is important to the person. She notes interest in women's issues, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, postpartum depression, and separation and divorce. Her approach mixes short-term skill work with attention to longer-term personal and spiritual growth.

People who choose her often want a practical, respectful clinician who attends to faith and life roles while helping them move toward clearer choices and steadier routines.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing out new behaviors. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns that keep someone feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's goals and reflecting back what matters to them. It helps when someone needs steady support while they sort priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move life forward; it suits people who want focused change and concrete actions.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Candace will collaborate with the person to choose strategies that match their goals, values, and preferences. That means deciding together whether to focus on thought work, skill practice, or short-term problem solving at different points in therapy.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they can reduce time spent traveling, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid the need to be on camera when audio works better. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain steady progress while juggling family, work, and other responsibilities.
