Getting to know Candice DuBeau
Candice DuBeau, M.S.Ed., LCPC
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Therapist
I currently have my Master’s in Science in Education, specializing in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northern Illinois University. I am experienced in working in community mental health and private practice, and have experience working within the school system during my internship in graduate school. My professional background includes providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, individuals experiencing a crisis, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and individuals struggling with identity concerns. I am certified in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and licensed for Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation as a fully licensed clinician in the state of Illinois and Indiana. I have continued to be educated on multicultural competencies by being immersed in the impoverished communities of Thailand and Guatemala to assist in various educational and mental health-related ways. Furthermore, in my undergraduate research at Northern Illinois University, I had the opportunity to work with participants recovering from sexual assault, childhood trauma, and anxiety, where I was properly trained on how to administer a variety of assessments related to these experiences.
I subscribe to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my base approach to counseling. CBT focuses on the idea that problems come from irrational beliefs or thoughts that are acted upon. I use CBT to work together with my clients to identify goals that will address the challenges clients are currently experiencing that are delaying their journey to their desired life. Acknowledging that there isn't a one-size-fits-all style to counseling, I work with clients to accomplish their goals in unique and various ways that are best for each client. Ultimately, I approach counseling sessions as a collaborative effort that aims to empower clients to achieve the life they desire.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Areas of Focus / Specialties
I work with individuals who are navigating:
* Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, ADHD, and most other mood disorders
* Trauma, PTSD, and Grief
* Relational Issues, Career Transitions, and Life Transitions
* Children, Teens, Adults, Couples, LGBTQIA+, First Responders, and Military
My work is informed by Strength-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, The Gottman Method, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I tailor sessions to each client’s needs, incorporating grounding skills, reframing, locus of control identification, cognitive restructuring, emotional identification, challenging irrational thought patterns, affirmations, validation, and assertive statements, among many other techniques depending on the client’s specific needs.
Clients often describe me as a clinician who is easy to connect with and provides direct but compassionate feedback for the client to improve their life in the ways that align with their goals. As for sessions, you can expect the first session to be based on intake documentation and a focus on getting to know one another while formulating goals for future sessions. After that, most of our sessions will be filled with thoughtful conversation, skill-building, gentle challenge, humor when appropriate, and relationship building as we work towards your unique goals in therapy. For some clients, art is included in these sessions. For children, games and play therapy are often used. Each session is thoughtfully prepared depending on the client’s needs.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, exercising, traveling, and engaging in outdoor activities. I believe that we have to become the change we want to see around us. We are the role models we need in our lives, and change begins with us.
