About Yazmin

Yazmin Cardena is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside several practical approaches to help people feel steadier in their lives. She works in English and Spanish and brings six years of clinical experience to sessions. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work with strong emotions that affect relationships and daily life.

She also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and acceptance and commitment strategies to build values-driven actions.

Background and approach

Her background includes outpatient specialty clinics, crisis intervention, structured outpatient programs, and independent practice. That range means she has experience with both short-term crisis work and longer-term change efforts. Her work has included group sessions as well as individual care.

Clients come for a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also helps people facing parenting stress, sleeping and eating issues, relationship and intimacy challenges, and career or life transitions. In sessions she focuses on setting clear, shared goals and practical steps toward them.

She aims to make the process straightforward and collaborative, with space to talk through feelings, try new behaviors, and adjust as needed. The first step is a short questionnaire and scheduling to match the right time for care.

Online support

How emotion-focused and evidence-based methods work online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong emotions and how those feelings affect relationships and daily choices. Online sessions can be a place to practice naming emotions, trying new responses, and repairing difficult interactions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small steps toward those values, even when uncomfortable feelings arise. In remote work this can mean building short, achievable exercises to do between sessions and checking progress by message or call.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and safety in relationships and helps people create more reliable ways of relating. Online formats make it possible to discuss past and present relational patterns and to experiment with new communication in real time.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works with each person to match methods to goals, symptoms, and personal style, and adjusts the plan as needed. That collaborative process makes it easier to try techniques and see what helps.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat for focused exchanges, and text messaging for short updates or coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try different ways of working until they find what feels most helpful.
