About Sergio
Sergio Fernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with 26 years of experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and anger. Sergio also works with issues such as parenting strain, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
He uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Sergio focuses on learning skills that change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques to address day-to-day problems and concrete goals.
When trauma or past abuse is part of the picture, Sergio brings trauma-focused approaches into the work. He helps people slow down intense feelings, name what is happening, and practice responses that reduce reactivity. The aim is to build steadier coping over time rather than quick fixes.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Sergio works with clients to set clear, achievable steps and tracks progress each week. That practical focus is helpful for people dealing with work stress, recurring anger, or ongoing relationship friction.
He also supports people facing complex or overlapping issues such as bipolar symptoms, caregiving stress, attachment struggles, and difficult separations. Sergio combines problem-solving with skills practice so clients leave sessions with tools they can use between meetings.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription-based model used for sessions can be canceled at any time and fees vary by location.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Sergio commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in his work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches specific exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people understand how past hurt affects current reactions and practices techniques to reduce overwhelming responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sergio will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and day-to-day life. This is a collaborative effort and plans can change as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and choices like audio-only that use less bandwidth. These practical benefits help clients use skills between meetings and keep therapy consistent with everyday routines.
