Candice Fuimaono, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Candice!

As a California LMFT, I provide dedicated telehealth therapy exclusively for adults (18+). I specialize in supporting individuals navigating severe mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts, offering a safe, virtual space to heal.

My focus

I work exclusively with adults (18+) experiencing severe mental health challenges. I am highly comfortable treating and supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, virtual environment tailored to these complex needs.

My approach

My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) via telehealth. Together, we will identify unhelpful thinking patterns and problem behaviors that disrupt your life. I focus on equipping you with practical, actionable coping skills to actively reduce your symptoms and meet your personal goals.

My communication style

Therapy takes immense courage. Meeting a new person and sharing your vulnerabilities can feel incredibly daunting. Trust is earned, not demanded. I prioritize creating a non-judgmental space where we can get to know each other at your pace. I will never push you to talk about experiences before you are ready.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming an LMFT was shaped by my own personal and family struggles. Having walked through difficult seasons myself, I know how vital real support is. I dedicated my career to therapy because I want to share the tools, hope, and healing that change lives.

My goals for you

You are the expert on your own life. From our very first sessions, we will collaborate to set meaningful goals that matter to you. These goals act as our roadmap, keeping our work focused while allowing us to celebrate your tangible progress along the way.

Our first session

Our first few sessions are entirely about comfort and connection. We will focus on building rapport, understanding your immediate needs, and ensuring you feel safe, heard, and respected from day one.
