About Candis
Candis Cochran is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Tennessee who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as addiction, trauma, and intimacy problems. She also supports clients facing parenting challenges, anger, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Her approach is practical and people-focused, aimed at helping someone feel steadier and more able to cope. Candis keeps sessions warm and straightforward.
She begins where the client is and tailors steps to fit their needs. Her style blends listening with concrete tools so people can try something between sessions and see what helps.
She values teamwork and celebrates small gains along the way. Her approach draws on client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, solution-focused strategies, and the Gottman Method for relationship concerns.
That mix lets her move between exploring feelings, practicing new skills, and setting short-term goals. Sessions often include skill practice, communication work, and planning small experiments to change behavior.
Candis brings three years of experience working directly with clients. She has worked in a variety of settings and focuses on creating a respectful space that honors each person’s background and values.
She explains things plainly and helps people make achievable plans. People who reach out to Candis usually want practical ways to reduce worry, repair relationships, or manage strong emotions.
She helps break problems into smaller steps and supports clients as they try new approaches and build on progress.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Candis uses the Gottman Method for relationship work, focusing on improving communication, reducing conflict cycles, and rebuilding connection through specific exercises and dialogue techniques. The Gottman-style work can help couples and partners practice new interaction patterns during sessions and at home. She also uses client-centered therapy, which prioritizes listening and responding to each person’s experience. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the pace of change based on their comfort level. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used for targeting patterns of thought and behavior that feed anxiety and depression; it usually includes practical homework and experiments to test new ways of thinking. Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. Candis will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit their situation. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan over time. Online formats offer flexible options to make attendance easier. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and relationship work. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try approaches that suit their routine.Frequently asked questions
