01About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor who practices in Texas. She brings six years of counseling experience and works with adults on a wide range of concerns. Yazmin speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for everyday life.
She draws on several well-established approaches to guide conversations and goals in sessions. Yazmin uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action.
Background and approach
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationships and intimacy issues. Her background includes outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and independent practice.
That range means she is familiar with short-term problem work and longer-term themes like grief, trauma, addiction, and mood disorders. Yazmin also has experience leading groups and working with people who face complicated grief, chronic illness, or life transitions. In sessions she focuses on setting clear, practical goals together with each person.
Conversations aim to identify manageable steps, improve communication, and build coping skills for stress, anger, and compulsive behaviors. She pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, and commitment or abandonment concerns when they are relevant. People who choose Yazmin can expect straightforward talk, practical tools, and collaborative planning.
Her approach is down-to-earth and goal-oriented while remaining attuned to emotions, identity, and cultural background.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, depression, and difficulties that come with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep disruption. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationship patterns affect trust and closeness and can help with intimacy, abandonment worries, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Yazmin collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She will discuss what seems most useful, try strategies together, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let participants see facial cues for relationship and attachment work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing coaching, brief skills practice, and check-ins between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
