Candice Yeargin , LCPC

Candice Yeargin is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 20 years of experience who uses practical, person-centered methods to help people through tough moments. She values honesty and comfort in sessions and works with clients to build a plan that fits their life and goals.

She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape emotions and behavior. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding to stress. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods help people find realistic steps and stay motivated between sessions.

Candice has supported people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar concerns, grief, anger, and stress. She also helps with family and relationship problems, parenting challenges, ADHD, coping with life changes, and issues tied to adoption or foster care. Her background includes work with caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and blended family or divorce situations.

Clients can expect a straightforward, respectful style. Sessions focus on goals the client defines and practical tools to use outside therapy. When hard topics come up, she stays present with the client rather than avoiding them.

She is based in Illinois and works with people in English. Her approach is collaborative and adaptable, aimed at helping people feel more able to manage daily pressures and move toward clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior; online sessions use conversation and reflection to notice patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and choices, with the therapist listening and reflecting so clients can clarify goals and make their own changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises that can be practiced between visits to reduce anxiety or shift mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as progress and feedback guide the plan.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, chat sessions work well for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping focus on practical steps and relationship patterns.
