About Candice

Candice Yeargin is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 20 years of experience. She practices with a straightforward, person-centered style that emphasizes trust and respect. Candice invites clients to lead the work while she offers guidance and practical tools.

Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood. She focuses on family and parenting concerns among many other issues. Common areas she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and relationship problems.

Background and approach

She also works with concerns such as ADHD, bipolar challenges, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. Candice tailors therapy to each person. She draws from attachment-based methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, and client-centered care.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Community Counseling. She received her Illinois LCPC license and has practiced since 1999.

Her range of experience includes work with adoption and foster care issues, blended family matters, caregiver stress, and family of origin concerns. Candice keeps the process practical. Together with clients she builds a plan that reflects real goals and daily life.

She also accepts international clients and offers multiple ways to connect for therapy.

Approach and access for online family-focused care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions; it helps people understand connection patterns in family life and parenting. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience - the therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said, and helps clients find their own solutions to problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors; this approach is useful for issues like anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. This is a collaborative process that can shift as progress is made or new challenges appear.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings while phone sessions can be easier on busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging provide short, flexible ways to check in between sessions. These options make it simpler to get consistent support while balancing family schedules and other responsibilities.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
