About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, mood disorders, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Her work comes from practical approaches that help people notice patterns and change what isn’t working. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas inform how she looks at closeness, boundaries, and the effects of family of origin issues.
She has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and private practice. That range gives experience with both individual and group settings, and with people facing grief, chronic illness, or self-harm behaviors. Yazmin also has experience with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and with substance use and relapse prevention.
In sessions she emphasizes setting clear, shared goals and planning steps toward them. She uses techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) where helpful, teaching practical skills for emotion regulation and communication. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what can change now.
Many people contact her because patterns from the family they grew up in still shape their relationships and self-image. She helps people look at abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and forgiveness. The first meeting typically clarifies priorities and maps the next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when hard feelings are present. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust and can be useful for family of origin issues, intimacy concerns, and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify goals and choose methods that fit those goals and preferences. Sessions typically combine skill teaching, reflective conversation, and specific practice tasks to try between meetings.
