About Candice
Candice Yeargin uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and relationship struggles. She brings two decades of clinical work to sessions and focuses on clear steps clients can use between meetings. Candice holds an IL LCPC and frames therapy around the person's goals and what matters most to them.
She prefers straightforward conversation and builds a collaborative plan with each person. Sessions often include ways to change unhelpful thinking, practice new communication habits, and address past hurt that keeps showing up now.
Background and approach
The goal is to leave each meeting with one or two doable actions to try during the week. Her work includes trauma-informed care and attention to attachment patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. Motivational interviewing is used when a person is ready to change behaviors like substance use, and solution-focused techniques help clarify immediate steps forward.
These methods are mixed to fit each person's needs rather than following a single formula. Candice has experience with a wide range of concerns, including parenting strain, blended family issues, aging and caregiver stress, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and substance problems. She also supports those coping with divorce, cancer, domestic violence, and family-of-origin wounds.
Outside of work she enjoys reading and golf and shares her home with two fur pets. People who prefer direct, respectful conversation and clear next steps may find her style helpful.
Therapeutic approaches that fit your life online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change repeating relationship habits. It is often used for concerns about trust, connection, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change problematic habits. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person's motivation to change, which can be useful for addictions and behavior change.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Candice will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they shape a plan that may blend these methods so the work fits the individual's needs and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care with a licensed professional.
