About Yazmin

Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who draws on a range of evidence-based approaches to support people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and independent practice, bringing experience with both individual and group work.

Her practice addresses a wide set of concerns including depression and bipolar disorder, trauma and grief, relationship and family difficulties, self-esteem and body-image issues, eating and sleeping problems, anger and stress management, and substance use. Yazmin emphasizes collaborative goal-setting so clients and therapist shape the focus and pace of treatment together.

She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients, adapting methods such as CBT, DBT, ACT, attachment-based, and client-centered therapies to meet each person’s needs. Yazmin encourages those considering therapy to recognize the first step as important and affirming.

She aims to help clients move past obstacles through tailored interventions, practical coping skills, and ongoing collaboration toward clearer goals and improved functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility so they can pursue meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or feelings; this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be effective for depression, anxiety, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and how they affect current relationships and emotional regulation, supporting work on intimacy, communication, and relational trauma.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adjust methods as progress unfolds so treatment reflects individual preferences and circumstances rather than a fixed formula.

Online formats make it possible to engage in these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care across locations. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver active interventions, skills coaching, and ongoing support in ways that fit daily life and practical constraints.
