About Candice

Candice Yeargin is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of experience. She works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, depression, and family-related issues including family of origin concerns. Sessions also address grief, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions.

She describes a collaborative style that centers the client’s goals. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and practical steps to get there. Expect clear, straightforward talk and a plan you can use between sessions.

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 practiced since receiving her license in 1999 and has worked with a wide range of adult concerns across two decades.

In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at early relationship patterns, client-centered ways of listening and reflecting, and cognitive-behavioral tools to change troubling thoughts and habits. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when the goal is specific change or practical steps forward.

Candice emphasizes straightforward planning and regular check-ins. She often helps people sort out how family roles and expectations from childhood still affect current choices. Practical coping skills, communication strategies, and short-term goals are common parts of her work.

Approaches used and how online sessions function

Candice commonly uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques in her work. Attachment-based work looks at early relationship patterns and how those patterns affect current connections and feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and depression.

She also draws on client-centered listening and motivational interviewing when clients need to clarify goals or find internal motivation. These methods aim to make therapy a collaborative process where the person’s needs and preferences shape what is tried. The therapist and client discuss options and pick approaches that fit the client’s goals.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, fit therapy around work or caregiving, and reduce travel time. Phone sessions may work when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is helpful, while video can support visual connection for communication practice. Licensed professionals can discuss which format best fits the goals and daily routines before the first session.
