About Candice

Candice Yu Simon is a licensed marriage and family therapist who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings 14 years of professional experience in California to each session. Her style is respectful and warm, aimed at making difficult conversations feel manageable. Candice writes treatment plans to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

She tailors session dialogue to the individual, listening first to understand what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings, and on building skills that make daily life easier. Candice helps clients work through parenting strain and the emotions that come with it, offering clear strategies for common family-related stressors.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist set goals together and track progress over time. She encourages steady, realistic changes and recognizes that small shifts can add up. The aim is to increase confidence, reduce overwhelming feelings, and improve everyday functioning.

Candice values sensitivity and compassion in the work she does. She supports people as they take initial steps toward change and stays focused on what will help them feel more capable. If you are looking for practical guidance and steady support, she aims to provide both in sessions.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear skills and problem-solving. One common approach is skills-based work that breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches tools to reduce anxiety and anger. This helps people who need concrete strategies to get through stressful moments. Another typical method centers on strengthening self-esteem and motivation by identifying small, achievable actions and reinforcing progress over time. That approach is useful for depression and low confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so work stays relevant and practical.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full session is not practical. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life changes. Ask about available session formats and scheduling to find what best fits your routine.
