About Candice

Candice Yeargin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who focuses on practical, person-centered care. She aims to make the first step easier by offering an open, honest, and compassionate space. Trust and comfort are treated as priorities so people can speak freely about what matters to them.

She works collaboratively, with the client guiding goals and the pace of work. Sessions focus on identifying what the client wants to change and building small, doable steps toward those goals. Challenging topics may come up, and she stays alongside clients through that work.

Her approach blends several methods rather than following one fixed style. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused techniques are commonly used alongside client-centered and attachment-based ideas. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are also part of the mix when they fit the person's needs.

Candice brings about 20 years of clinical experience and a background in community counseling. She holds a master’s degree in Education with a focus on community counseling and an LCPC credential from Illinois. Over the years she has supported people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, anger, and life transitions.

Outside of work she enjoys reading and playing golf, and she shares her home with two pets. She invites prospective clients to consider whether her style feels like a match before starting work together.

Approaches that shape online work

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and problems like anger or stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help people rebuild trust and improve communication. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, using empathy and respect to let people set their own goals and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a few approaches and adjusting based on what helps most.

The biography did not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose interactions that suit their energy level. Licensed professionals can carry out CBT, attachment-focused work, and client-centered conversations effectively in remote settings when formats match the client's needs.

  • Check that the location and license details above fit where you live.
  • If anyone is at risk of being harmed, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline first. See the support lines for the US, UK and Australia.
