About Candice

Candice Yeargin is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression among other issues. Candice also lists family, grief, parenting, anger, self-esteem, bipolar, coping with life changes, and ADHD as focus areas. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Candice uses a straightforward, person-focused approach. She emphasizes honesty and clear communication during sessions. The client takes the lead while she helps map out practical steps and goals. Hard topics are addressed directly, with pacing set by the client.

Her method draws from several evidence-based approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to build concrete skills for change. Attachment-based ideas inform how relationships and early connections shape present difficulties. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are used to set achievable goals and encourage momentum.

Candice's background includes a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a master's degree in Education with a focus on Community Counseling. She has practiced since receiving her license in 1999 and brings two decades of clinical work to each case. She has also worked with populations connected to adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, and substance concerns.

Outside of work she enjoys reading and golf, and shares her home with two pets. To begin, visitors are directed to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical skills. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and involves exercises and small behavior changes between sessions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current ways of relating and reacting. This approach can help with relationship problems, trust issues, and connected patterns that show up in adult life.

Candice treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That choice can shift as progress is made.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Ask about which formats are currently offered so sessions can be arranged to match work, family, and daily routines.
