About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and mood concerns. She communicates in both English and Spanish and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-focused so clients can see progress between meetings.
She has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and in independent practice.
How Yazmin works
That range means she is familiar with steady care routines and more urgent situations. Yazmin has supported people through depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, and self-harm behaviors among other concerns. Common topics she addresses include relationship and family issues, self-esteem and body-image struggles, eating and sleeping problems, and substance use.
Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, communication and control issues, and immigration-related stress. She also helps with career changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Her style centers on working together to set clear, achievable goals.
She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to match tools to each person’s needs. Sessions mix problem-solving, skill practice, and space to process difficult feelings. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The practice accepts international clients and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps when worries or low mood get in the way of living the life a person wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches tools to shift them through short, practical exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses patterns in close relationships and how early connection shapes current trust, intimacy, and communication concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try, based on goals and what feels useful. Sessions can mix approaches over time so techniques are tailored rather than fixed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations and screen sharing for worksheets, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep working on goals from different settings.
