Yazmin Cardena

Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She draws on six years of clinical experience to help people manage strong emotions, reduce stress, and find clearer direction in life.

She uses straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. Yazmin helps people set goals together and builds a plan that fits daily life. She focuses on practical skills for anger, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship strain, and sleep or eating concerns.

Her background includes outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and private practice. That variety means she has worked with both individuals and groups in different settings. She has experience with complicated grief, chronic pain, self-harm behavior, and suicide assessment and risk reduction.

Yazmin blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered methods. Sessions emphasize clear goals, emotional skills, and steps people can use between visits.

She offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Yazmin aims to help people navigate difficult life changes, improve communication, and build healthier coping habits.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help when anger, anxiety, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means goals are set together and techniques are adjusted over time as progress is made.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone options that suit their comfort and daily routine. Licensed professionals guide how to adapt exercises, homework, and emotional skills for remote sessions so clients can practice between visits.
