About Candice
Candice Yeargin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who uses a mix of approachable therapies to help people manage anxiety and stress. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She focuses on building trust and a working relationship where the client leads the goals and pace of work.
Candice leans on client-centered techniques to make space for each person's story. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different, small behavior changes.
Background and approach
Attachment-based perspectives are used when patterns from close relationships show up and affect mood or coping. With 20 years of experience as an Illinois licensed clinician, she has supported people through depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, and life transitions. She also addresses family-of-origin issues, parenting strain, communication problems, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar disorder.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what the client wants to change. Candice describes her style as open and honest. She works respectfully and without judgment while helping clients develop a clear plan.
Difficult topics may come up, and she helps people move through them step by step rather than all at once. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and checked regularly. Outside of work she enjoys reading and golf and shares her home with two pets.
She accepts clients in Illinois and also works with international clients in English.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and reactions. In online sessions this approach helps identify repeated interaction styles and supports learning new ways to connect and set boundaries. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s own goals and experiences and encourages a supportive space for people to talk through what matters most to them. This style is well suited to conversation-based video or phone sessions where reflection and empathy are central.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches clear strategies to test and change unhelpful thinking. CBT fits well with online work because it uses practical exercises, homework, and brief skill-building that can be reviewed over video, chat, or messaging.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods match a client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and teaching exercises. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, questions between appointments, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent alongside work, family, and travel.
