About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and grief. Yazmin supports people dealing with stress, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and intimacy-related challenges. She speaks English and Spanish.
She has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and private practice. That mix of settings means she has experience with short-term crises and longer-term therapy. Yazmin has led group therapy and offered work around suicide assessment and risk reduction.
In sessions she focuses on practical goals you and she set together. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address patterns of thinking and emotional regulation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps when people feel stuck by painful thoughts or avoidance.
Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches shape how she addresses relationships and self-image. These methods look at how early connections affect current relationships and emphasize clear, direct feedback in the room. Yazmin also works with eating and body image issues, including support related to bariatric patients and lifestyle change.
People often come to her worried about codependency, abandonment or communication problems. She describes therapy as a cooperative process and helps clients make step-by-step changes. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and learning to act according to personal values. It can help when avoidance or worry keeps someone from living the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by practicing new skills and testing beliefs in everyday situations. That makes it practical for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating issues.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Yazmin will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as new issues come up or as skills develop.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. They also let people access English or Spanish speaking licensed professionals from different locations. Ask about the current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what to expect.
