Candice Yeargin, LCPC

Candice Yeargin is an Illinois licensed clinical professional counselor, LCPC, with 20 years of experience. She offers a direct, open style and focuses on building trust and comfort so people can talk honestly about what matters to them. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at helping each person set meaningful goals and take practical steps toward them.

She combines several approaches rather than using one fixed method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered work create space to understand relationships and feel heard. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used to set small, achievable goals when people want to make changes.

Candice has worked since receiving her license in 1999 and brings two decades of clinical practice to common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, family issues, parenting strain, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and life transitions. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, aging and caregiver stress, communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s in education with a focus on community counseling. She grew up in the Midwest and has lived in multiple states. Outside work she enjoys reading, golf, and time with her two pets.

Candice encourages people to lead the process and helps them craft a plan that fits their life. Prospective clients should confirm session formats before booking and can start by completing the site’s matching questionnaire.

Approaches that translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Online sessions can provide concrete homework, short check-ins, and step-by-step skill practice that fit into daily routines.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and reactions. Working through these patterns can be done through conversation, role-play, and reflective exercises that a therapist guides during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to use. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and priorities change so the work stays relevant and practical.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions when needed. It also lets people choose quieter surroundings, avoid camera use when preferred, or keep meetings shorter to fit a break at work.
