About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, and stress. Yazmin also supports people navigating grief, trauma, identity questions, and life transitions common in early adulthood.
She has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and private practice. That range means she has experience doing short-term crisis work and longer term therapy. Yazmin has run individual and group sessions and has worked with people facing self-harm behavior, complicated grief, chronic illness, and suicide risk reduction.
Her sessions focus on setting clear, shared goals with each person. She uses several evidence-based approaches to help people practice new skills and try different choices. Yazmin draws on techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
Yazmin often addresses specific patterns such as attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication and control issues, and family of origin problems. She also helps with eating and sleep difficulties, parenting strain, and career-related stress that many young adults face.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she works with clients both within Texas and internationally. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the listed online options.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and the stress of major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for mood, worry, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling conflict more effectively.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client will talk through goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then try methods that match those priorities. That collaborative process may blend techniques rather than stick to a single label.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional remotely can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and other commitments. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins on busy days, spare travel time, and reduce the need to arrange childcare or long commutes. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while managing early adult responsibilities.
