Candice Alig, LPCC
About me
Hi! My name is Candice and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor; holding my independent license in both Kentucky and Ohio. I have been working in the mental health field for over 7 years. I have served as both an individual and group counselor for people struggling with addictions, anxiety, depression, self esteem issues, communication troubles, family and/or relationship conflict, and much more. I have extensive knowledge in substance abuse issues, having worked with that population for nearly 5 years.
I obtained my bachelor's degree in anthropology and master's degree in clinical mental health counseling, both from Northern Kentucky University. I have always been interested in learning about people through their stories and decided to become a counselor in hopes of making a positive impact in people's lives.
I understand that seeking counseling can be a big (and sometimes scary) step, therefore I embrace my clients with kindness and without judgement. I enjoy assisting clients in identifying their own strength and using these to achieve the life they desire (and deserve). I do this by utilizing mostly CBT, ACT, and MBSR strategies, tailoring these to my client's needs.
I am grateful for the privilege to work along side of you as you take this step in your life!

Candice is more prompt with her responses then my own wife. lol. Shes a great listener and I always leave a session feeling rejuvenated and ready for whatever comes next. I recommend Better Help to my Nurse coworkers. Everyone needs someone to listen. :)

Candice is the only therapist I have worked with this long. Her insight, empathy, and skills are a perfect match for my struggles with anxiety while navigating being a single mom.

Candice is very helpful and supportive, always providing resources for additional reading while also being very mindful of your comfort level and feelings. I’d absolutely recommend Candice to everyone, especially anyone new to counseling!

Candice is great! She listens to your concerns and goals and helps reach those. She is able to give fair perspective to each situation and validates how you feel. I feel comfortable and safe having her as my therapist.
