About Candice
Candice Yeargin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with twenty years of experience. She offers a direct, compassionate approach and encourages clients to lead the work while she provides guidance. Candice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, depression, grief, parenting strain, and codependency concerns.
Her sessions aim to build trust and a comfortable working relationship. Candice describes her style as open and honest, and she tries to create a respectful, non-judgmental space. Goals are set together so the client knows what to aim for and why sessions matter.
Candice uses a mix of methods rather than a single model. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas guide how she works with relationships and personal goals. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques are used when people want short-term momentum or help with behavior changes.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Community Counseling, then became licensed in 1999. Over two decades she has worked with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar issues, family of origin matters, and substance use challenges.
Outside of work she enjoys reading and golf and shares her home with two pets. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider whether her straightforward, collaborative style fits their needs before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small, concrete changes to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and behavioral patterns tied to addiction or codependency.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. It can help when relationship patterns, communication problems, or family of origin issues make life harder. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals, giving space to set the pace and direction of change.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits your needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine methods to match your situation. That choice is reviewed as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since this profile does not list specific formats. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, attachment work, and client-centered conversations to remote sessions while focusing on practical steps you can use between appointments.
