He practices in English and Spanish and works with people dealing with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and anger. Sebastian’s biography emphasizes respectful, sensitive care and a practical approach to talking through problems.
He draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people reduce anger, repair communication, and rebuild trust. Sessions focus on clear goals and straightforward skills you can use between meetings. He adapts his style to the person in front of him and adjusts pacing to what each person needs.
Sebastian has experience supporting people through separation and divorce, workplace conflict, financial stress, and caregiver strain. He also works with issues around chronic illness, post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, and sexuality. These areas often overlap, and he helps clients untangle how one stressor feeds another.
In sessions he talks through practical strategies for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and setting personal boundaries. He also addresses guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose when those come up. Sebastian encourages learning concrete tools and practicing them in everyday situations.
His bilingual ability lets him conduct therapy in Spanish when needed. For people new to therapy he suggests a short intake process to set priorities and choose methods that fit their goals. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches used and how online sessions support progress
Evidence-based techniques focus the work and teach specific skills. One common approach is skills-based emotion regulation, which breaks down what happens when anger rises and teaches steps to reduce intensity. This helps with workplace frustration, repeated arguments, and moments of impulsive reaction.Another approach often used is communication-focused work. That involves practicing clearer ways to say what matters, listening skills, and methods for negotiating needs. It’s useful when anger comes from recurring misunderstandings or relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the first sessions. Sebastian works collaboratively to match method and pace to a person’s goals and daily life. He will help decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t practical. They can also let people practice skills in their everyday environments and bring immediate concerns into the session for real-time work.
