Candace Johnson, LPC

Candace M. Johnson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University, Atlanta - the program formerly known as the Georgia Professional School of Psychology. As an LPC, she has completed the training and licensure required to provide professional counseling services.

Candace completed a rigorous psychiatric practicum at Emory Decatur Hospital in Atlanta, where her training included conducting psychiatric assessments with both medical and mental health populations, providing crisis intervention in an emergency room setting, leading psychoeducational groups, and refining ethical and effective clinical skills. Those experiences shaped her approach to assessment and crisis work and reinforced the importance of thoughtful clinical decision making.

Her professional background includes counseling within an acute inpatient psychiatric setting, delivering both in-person and telephonic crisis intervention, coordinating behavioral health services, and performing extensive psychological assessments to evaluate individual safety. She has worked with children and adolescents, young adults, and general adult populations, tailoring care to the developmental and clinical needs of each group.

While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is her primary theoretical orientation, Candace adapts therapeutic techniques to match each client’s presenting signs and symptoms. She emphasizes the development of a genuine professional therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful change. Areas of special expertise include stress management, career counseling, psychotic disorders, and caregiver support.
