Candace Coston, LCSW

Candace Coston is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with four years of post-licensure practice. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, ADHD, parenting struggles, career stress, and daylight-to-day coping with life changes.

Candace uses straightforward conversations to learn what brings clients meaning and what goals they want to reach. She asks about values, important relationships, and daily routines. From there she and the client identify steps toward emotional or practical changes the client wants to make.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in English from Campbell University and graduate social work training at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. That academic foundation is paired with clinical experience across settings and client needs.

In sessions she draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness practices, and client-centered work. These are used to address mood symptoms, trauma and abuse, anger and impulse concerns, grief and loss, and self-esteem issues.

Candace also supports people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, blended family challenges, codependency, and addiction recovery. She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings and on skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

She conducts work in English and does not accept international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
