About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She speaks English and Spanish and brings six years of professional experience to her sessions. She has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and independent practice.
That range means she has seen common issues like depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety in many settings. Yazmin also supports people facing trauma, grief, chronic illness, and substance use concerns.
Background and approach
In sessions she works with clients to set clear, shared goals. She uses practical tools from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to tackle worries and unhelpful habits. Treatment often includes skills for emotion regulation, behavior changes, and improving communication.
Yazmin also addresses relationship and family concerns, intimacy-related issues, and challenges around self-esteem and body image. She helps people navigate transitions like divorce, immigration stress, or career changes. She has experience with addiction and relapse prevention work as well.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and build small, consistent actions toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is often used for ongoing worry, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotion regulation, and can help with relationship struggles, codependency, and abandonment worries.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what’s helping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for full sessions when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let someone get support between sessions or fit moments of coaching into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or travel.
