Candice Yeargin

Candice Yeargin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with two decades of experience offering straightforward, person-focused care. She emphasizes an open and honest approach, creating space where people can speak freely and work toward clearer goals. Her style is warm and respectful, and she encourages the person in therapy to guide the work.

Yeargin uses a flexible mix of methods rather than one fixed approach. Sessions focus on practical steps and conversations tailored to each person's needs. She helps people name what they want to change, then builds a plan to reach those goals. Difficult topics may come up, and she stays alongside clients through those moments.

Her clinical interests include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. She also addresses ADHD, bipolar concerns, self-esteem, anger, and family issues originating from family of origin or blended family dynamics. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related concerns, and substance use problems.

Therapeutic tools she commonly draws on include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These approaches are used to help people problem-solve, build coping skills, and improve relationships.

Born and raised in the Midwest, she holds a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Community Counseling. She works from Illinois and conducts services in English. Her background and long practice aim to make therapy practical and approachable for people at different life stages.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and reactions. In sessions this means looking at patterns in current relationships and practicing different ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more useful alternatives; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you will decide which strategies to keep and which to adjust as progress is tracked over time.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have more frequent short check-ins if needed. It can also allow for sessions when someone has limited time between responsibilities or needs lower-bandwidth options that do not require constant video. Licensed professionals can adapt Attachment-Based and CBT techniques to an online setting, using conversation, guided exercises, and goal-focused homework to keep work moving forward.
