Candice Yeargin, LCPC

Candice Yeargin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois who brings two decades of clinical experience to her work. She creates an open, honest, and compassionate space where respect and nonjudgmental support guide the work. Her manner balances warmth with directness, helping clients feel seen while they explore difficult material and build practical strategies for change.

Candice favors an individualized, eclectic approach rather than a one-size-fits-all method. She draws from evidence-based techniques including cognitive behavioral strategies, trauma-informed care, and client-centered practices to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. Her practice also includes experience working with military members and their families, holding certification to provide that specialty care.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, parenting and support for those coping with life changes. She also addresses challenges such as ADHD, bipolar conditions, self-esteem concerns, anger, and complex family dynamics. Candice combines clinical training with real-world understanding to help clients set goals and develop actionable plans.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Community Counseling. Originally from the Midwest, she has lived in multiple regions of the United States. Outside of work she enjoys reading and golf, and she shares her home with two fur companions. Candice welcomes the opportunity to meet new clients and to support them in their next steps toward growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Candice commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy into her work, focusing on how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps clients explore connection issues, attachment wounds, and ways to build more secure relationships in their present lives. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s goals and values guide the pace and focus of sessions - this is useful for building self-awareness and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key tool in her practice; CBT emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Candice works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. That collaborative planning aims to make therapy both effective and personally meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so clients can choose formats that match their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes, travel, or busy routines while working with licensed professionals who adapt their methods to the online setting.
