About Candice
Candice Yeargin is a licensed clinical professional counselor with twenty years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges. She practices in Illinois and focuses on building a straightforward, respectful connection. Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel heard and able to make practical changes.
Candice centers sessions on what each person wants to achieve. She encourages clients to lead the way while she offers structure, tools, and honest feedback.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, skills practice, and talking through difficult experiences so they feel more manageable. Her work draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, and cognitive behavioral strategies. That mix helps with relationship patterns, emotional regulation, and unhelpful thoughts that get in the way.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to build momentum and small, achievable steps. Candice has a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice and a master's degree in Education with a focus on Community Counseling. She has been licensed since 1999 and brings two decades of clinical practice to each session.
Those years include supporting people through trauma, depression, bipolar challenges, co-occurring substance concerns, and family stresses. In sessions she aims to create a non-judgmental space where practical change is the goal. Parents who are juggling responsibilities often find the problem-solving focus helpful.
The work is collaborative and paced to each person's needs.

How these approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current behavior and feelings. This can be useful when parenting challenges, relationship issues, or family-of-origin patterns are part of the concern. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, accepting conversation where the person sets the pace and the therapist reflects and clarifies to deepen understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and cope with anxiety, low mood, or stress.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different methods, and adjust what’s used based on what helps most. Expect regular check-ins about progress and practical changes you want to make.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you see facial expressions and use screen-shared worksheets. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules.
