About Carmina
Carmina Ledezma is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, and ADHD. Carmina also focuses on issues like attachment, communication problems, isolation, life purpose, and concerns common in young adults.
She sees young adulthood as a time of major transitions - leaving home, starting careers, and figuring out identity. Her approach centers on practical skills and clear conversation. Sessions often involve talking through what’s happening now, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing skills to manage strong feelings and urges.
Carmina offers bilingual services in English and Spanish to better reflect cultural context in therapy. She aims to help people improve self-relationship, address process addictions such as gambling or porn where present, and reduce shame and guilt that get in the way of everyday life.
Her work with trauma and post-traumatic stress focuses on stabilizing reactions first, then addressing how past events affect current behavior. For ADHD and anger, she uses concrete strategies to manage impulsivity and structure daily routines.
People who choose her often want straightforward help with early-adulthood pressures - work stress, relationship strain, loneliness, and questions about purpose. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Carmina uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. For trauma and post-traumatic stress she focuses on stabilizing overwhelming reactions and then helping clients understand how past events affect daily behavior and relationships. This involves grounding skills and gradual processing to reduce distress.For addictions and process-related behaviors, she emphasizes identifiable triggers, routine changes, and coping tools to reduce urges and rebuild healthier habits. These steps are practical and aim to interrupt harmful patterns while supporting recovery goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match techniques to their current needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one method fits all. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to try and how to adapt them over time.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy fit daily life by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins around school or work breaks, and making it easier to schedule sessions across busy weeks. Some clients prefer audio-only conversations when bandwidth is limited or a quick phone-style check-in is needed, while others choose video for face-to-face interaction. Ask about the specific formats offered when setting up the first appointment.
