About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
She has practiced in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and private practice. That mix means she is used to short-term problem solving and longer-term work. Yazmin helps people with addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles, including separation and divorce issues.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. She works with clients to set clear goals and to practice skills between sessions. Yazmin uses several therapeutic methods to guide that work, including cognitive behavioral techniques to shift thinking patterns and DBT skills for emotion regulation.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and act in line with those values. Attachment-based ideas inform her work on closeness, boundaries, and codependency. In the room she mixes conversation, skills practice, and problem-solving tasks.
People who come for anger or stress work often learn practical tools to notice triggers, manage intense feelings, and improve communication. She has experience leading groups as well as individual therapy, and she supports clients through life changes, parenting challenges, and career stress.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Yazmin uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, with location-based cost variations.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anger tied to life transitions, meaning, or difficult choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns such as rumination or reactive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that are helpful when anger feels intense and recurring.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, concerns, and preferences. That might mean combining CBT exercises, ACT values work, and DBT skill practice across sessions.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow for flexible check-ins during work breaks or between commitments. It also lets clients practice skills in the settings where problems happen and bring real-life situations into the session for troubleshooting.
