About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, mood struggles, addiction concerns, grief, and ADHD. Yazmin speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations straightforward and useful.
She draws on six years of clinical experience in many settings, including outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and independent practice. That range means she has worked with both individuals and groups on common and complex problems.
Background and approach
She has experience with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, self-harm behavior, chronic illness, and complicated grief. Yazmin uses several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive and emotion-focused tools to help people notice their thoughts, clarify values, and take workable steps.
She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to focus on trust, connection, and the person’s own goals. In sessions she centers collaboration and practical goals. People can expect clear check-ins, skill practice, and steps to try between meetings.
Yazmin also has experience running groups and supporting people through relationship conflict, divorce, parenting strain, eating and sleep concerns, and substance use issues. She encourages anyone feeling overwhelmed to reach out and begin a simple intake process. The first steps are a brief questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the person’s life.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice distracting thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It teaches simple exercises to accept hard feelings and take small values-based steps, which can be practiced between sessions for stress, anxiety, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It uses clear, structured techniques like thought records and behavioral experiments that translate well to video and phone sessions for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It can help people address loneliness, communication problems, and attachment wounds through reflective conversations and relationship-focused work.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Yazmin will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they pick methods and adjust them over time so the work fits the person’s life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone share updates, practice skills, or get brief support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, parenting, and travel while using the methods described above.
