About Candice

Candice Yeargin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who blends client-centered care with practical strategies. She aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward. Her approach focuses on building trust and working together to set clear goals.

Candice keeps sessions open and honest while remaining compassionate and nonjudgmental. She centers the person in the room and helps them lead the work. When needed, she introduces focused tools to cope with difficult emotions and life changes.

With two decades of experience since receiving her license, she draws on a range of methods rather than a single style. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based approaches alongside motivational and solution-focused tools. This lets her tailor work to what each person needs.

Candice has academic training that includes a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in education with a focus on community counseling. She has practiced in multiple regions after growing up in the Midwest and now works from Illinois.

She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, caregiver strain, and aging and geriatric issues. Sessions also address ADHD, bipolar concerns, and problems tied to communication and trust.

Her style is collaborative and goal oriented. People who choose her can expect clear discussion of what they want from therapy, step-by-step planning, and support when harder topics come up.

Therapeutic approaches that guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand connection, trust, and how to change repeating relationship habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers concrete steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the person to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. Sessions can adjust over time as needs change, with the therapist offering explanations and checking in on progress.

The therapist's biography did not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving commute time or allowing a shorter check-in during a workday break. Online care can also make ongoing visits more practical when attending in-person appointments would be difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt the therapeutic approaches described here to remote work, maintaining a similar focus on goals, coping skills, and relationship patterns.
