About Candice

Candice Yeargin is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who centers her work on trauma-focused therapy and practical strategies. She invites people to take the first step and describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client leads. Her manner is open and direct, with an emphasis on respect and empathy to help people feel heard.

She adapts methods to each person rather than using a single approach. That can mean drawing on trauma-focused practices, cognitive behavioral techniques, or client-centered work depending on what the person needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps people can use between meetings.

Candice has two decades of clinical experience since receiving her license in 1999. She holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in education with a focus on community counseling. Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to addiction, trauma, grief, and family issues.

She also lists support for matters like adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, communication struggles, and life changes such as divorce and bereavement. Motivational interviewing and attachment-informed thinking are part of her toolbox when appropriate.

Outside of clinical work she grew up in the Midwest and has lived across the United States. She enjoys reading and golf and shares her home with two pets. If the style described here feels like a fit, the next step is to complete the short intake process to connect and plan sessions together.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on addressing the impact of traumatic experiences. It often involves pacing, grounding skills, and targeted strategies to help reduce distress linked to past events. This approach can be useful for people coping with trauma symptoms, anxiety, and related challenges.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand emotional needs and build more reliable ways of connecting with others, which can ease relationship strain and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are a team effort where plans are adjusted as the client learns what helps.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting sessions into a busy schedule, making shorter check-ins possible, and allowing work from a quieter place when needed. The therapist's biography does not specify exact session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can still use trauma-focused, attachment-based, and client-centered techniques adapted for remote sessions, with attention to pacing and clear steps between meetings.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
