Anxiety that never switches off
The thoughts that won't turn off, the tight chest, the before-bed what-ifs. Anxiety is almost always part of the story — and it's workable.

Candice Beaton, LCSW · Online Therapy in California
Anxiety and burnout don't always look like falling apart — sometimes they look like doing everything right and still feeling exhausted. I'm Candice Beaton, LCSW #86047, and I help people across California feel more steady, clearer, and more like themselves again.
This might be why you're here
The thoughts that won't turn off, the tight chest, the before-bed what-ifs. Anxiety is almost always part of the story — and it's workable.
You look capable and completely on top of it. Inside, you're running on empty — over-giving, over-extended, and quietly overwhelmed.
A relationship shift, a loss, a new chapter that arrived before you were ready — and the stuck feeling that comes with it.
Not just insight — real, evidence-based tools you can actually use when it counts.

The focus of my work
Anxiety has been the focus of my work for ten years — the thoughts that won't turn off, the tight chest, the before-bed what-ifs. I've seen how it shows up at work, in relationships, in parenthood, and in the quiet moments when everything is technically fine and you still can't relax.
This is what I do all day, and it's the work I'm best at.
How I see it
“Change starts when you stop trying to do it perfectly — and start trusting yourself instead.”
— Candice
You're a person, not a diagnosis. The work goes deeper when you feel genuinely comfortable and understood — so that's where we start.
Insight matters, and so does knowing what to do with it. Much of our work is building skills you can carry into your real, busy life — the kind you can actually use, not just think about.
Ten years of clinical work and proven methods — CBT, DBT, ACT, and MBSR — tailored to you. Real training, real tools.

She challenges me in the best ways — usually around putting myself first and learning to meet my own needs. I look forward to every session and feel lighter each time I leave.
She teaches me skills I can practice outside our appointments — it's like I have a pocket therapist everywhere I go. I cannot recommend her enough.
From the very first session, I felt a genuine connection and a trust that let me open up without hesitation. I wholeheartedly recommend Candice to anyone.
