Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings six years of clinical experience and a calm, practical approach to sessions. Yazmin aims to help people who feel stuck by working with them to set clear, achievable goals.

She has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and independent practice. That background means she has experience with short-term crisis work and longer-term therapy. Yazmin helps people with depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and substance use concerns, among other issues.

Her work includes support for relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, anger and stress management, and complicated grief reactions. She also helps people facing chronic pain, chronic illness, eating and sleep problems, and life transitions. Yazmin mentions experience with suicide assessment and risk reduction in clinical settings.

Therapy with her focuses on building goals together and using approaches that fit each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions aim to teach skills, clarify values, and improve relationships with thoughts and feelings.

Yazmin offers services in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, prospective clients complete the Start Therapy questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and struggles around commitment or control. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and trust, helping people address abandonment concerns, attachment difficulties, and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, listening-based approach where the therapist follows the client's lead to build understanding and self-direction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Yazmin will collaborate with each person to try approaches that fit their needs and goals. That process may include practicing skills, revisiting goals, and adjusting methods over time so therapy remains useful and relevant.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people join from different places when international support is needed. A brief questionnaire and scheduling step get the process started, and the therapist will discuss what session rhythm and methods best match the client's daily life.
