About Yazmin
Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She brings six years of clinical experience and focuses on practical skills that help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and life transitions.
She has worked in outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and private practice. That variety means she has seen concerns in different settings and uses what works in real life. Sessions typically focus on setting clear, reachable goals and practicing strategies between meetings.
Her caseload includes mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction and substance concerns, complicated grief, and issues around self-esteem and eating. She also helps people navigate relationship and family issues, communication problems, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue.
Yazmin uses several evidence-informed approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. In session she emphasizes collaboration, so clients and she create goals together and track progress over time.
She works in both English and Spanish and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, fill out a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, sleep disruption, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems like insomnia, anxiety, and low mood going. Those skills are often practiced between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. It can help with strong emotions, relationship conflict, and stress management.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick or blend methods that feel useful and realistic for everyday life.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports regular practice of sleep and stress strategies between meetings, which can help people build lasting routines without changing their daily responsibilities.
