About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Texas. She brings six years of clinical experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Yazmin provides direct, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, addiction, grief, and relationship or family difficulties.
She has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and independent practice. That range means she is familiar with short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and managing strong emotions in everyday life. Yazmin uses a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and ACT to help people act in line with their values.
Attachment-based work and client-centered methods guide how she listens and responds in the room. Her practice addresses a wide set of concerns including trauma and abuse, substance use and addictions, intimate relationship struggles, parenting stress, self-esteem and body image issues, eating and sleeping problems, and work or career stress. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, codependency, immigration-related strain, and loneliness.
Sessions aim to set clear, achievable goals and teach tools people can use between appointments. Yazmin encourages small, steady steps toward change and works collaboratively to adapt strategies when life shifts. She accepts international clients and offers services in Spanish and English.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values despite hard thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where motivation and meaning feel stalled. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That conversation guides whether ACT, CBT, attachment-focused work, or a blend best fits the person's priorities and rhythm of life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful when visual connection helps the work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Chat and messaging offer brief touchpoints and written reflections between appointments. These options help therapy fit into busy schedules, work breaks, or different time zones.
