About Candice
Candice Yeargin is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting struggles, and anger.
She uses a straightforward, person-focused style. Sessions center on clear goals and practical steps. The client leads the process while the counselor helps sort priorities and plan changes. Hard topics are addressed directly, without judgment, and progress is tracked with simple, measurable aims.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship and family dynamics. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused tools help with readiness for change and short-term problem solving.
Candice draws on two decades of practice to support people coping with life transitions, chronic stress, and difficulties tied to addiction or mood disorders. She also has interest in adoption and foster care issues, aging concerns, caregiver stress, and family of origin patterns. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills and clearer communication.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Community Counseling. She has worked in varied settings across the United States and now offers services from Illinois. Conversations are in English and international clients are accepted.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections. Online sessions using this approach help people notice reactive patterns and practice different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT tools include structured exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments you can try between meetings. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term method that helps clarify what change matters and builds commitment to that change through open, goal-oriented conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT for symptom management, attachment ideas for relationship work, or motivational techniques to address substance use or avoidance. Plans are adjusted as needs evolve.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use exercises and homework in their daily context. Licensed professionals can still use the same practical tools and goal setting in remote sessions as they do in person.
