About Candice

Candice Yeargin is an Illinois LCPC with 20 years of clinical experience. She offers a straightforward, supportive style that aims to make starting therapy easier. Her approach is open and honest while keeping the client in the lead when making decisions about care.

Candice emphasizes practical collaboration. She helps people set goals and build a plan that fits their life. Sessions may address stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and relationship or family issues.

Her work draws on several familiar methods rather than one single model. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot patterns and try new behaviors. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches are used to strengthen relationships and center the client's own experience and values.

Candice trained in community counseling after earning a master’s degree in Education focused on that area, and she holds an LCPC in Illinois. Over two decades in practice have included diverse settings and populations, and she brings that background into practical, everyday help for common life problems.

She likes to keep things simple and honest in sessions. Conversations may sometimes go into hard topics, but the aim is to work through them together and leave people better able to manage daily life. If the fit seems right, clients and therapist build a plan and move forward step by step.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and the ways early bonds shape how people connect now; it can help when relationship patterns, attachment issues, or family of origin concerns are causing distress. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the center of sessions, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening so clients can clarify what they want and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and is useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and some patterns related to ADHD or addiction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then try methods that seem helpful. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or make it simpler to connect when mobility or caregiving responsibilities make leaving home difficult. Licensed professionals adapt techniques like CBT and attachment-focused conversations to work over distance, and the practical aim is to help clients translate what happens in sessions into everyday routines.
