About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage strong emotions and life stressors. She draws on six years of clinical experience to support people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and anger-related concerns. Yazmin speaks English and Spanish and works with individuals from varied backgrounds.
She emphasizes clear goals and straightforward steps in sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now, how it affects daily life, and which small changes might help.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and practical exercises to try between sessions. Yazmin has worked in outpatient clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and independent practice. That variety has shaped her ability to guide people through sudden challenges and longer-term problems alike.
She has experience with mood disorders, substance use, trauma and grief, and relationship and family concerns. Her work also addresses patterns such as attachment difficulties, codependency, communication and control issues, and struggles with self-esteem. She supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, and the everyday fallout from chronic illness or life changes.
Anger and stress management are a recurring part of her practice. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Yazmin helps each person choose strategies that match their priorities and daily routine.
She invites people to take small steps forward and to track what works and what needs adjusting.

Approach and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches specific skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for strong anger and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, daily life, and preferences, then recommend one or a mix of methods. Sessions evolve as needs change, so the plan is adjusted together over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping regular contact between visits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to touch base, share progress, or practice skills between appointments. These options make it simpler to maintain momentum and try new strategies in real life.
