About Sebastian
Sebastian Gonzalez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with three years of professional experience. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, and career concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and Spanish.
Sebastian focuses on practical conversations and clear next steps. He encourages people to name what is happening and to try small changes between meetings. Sessions are direct and down-to-earth, with attention to how daily routines, work pressures, and close relationships affect mood and reactions.
He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to bring structure to sessions. That often means setting goals together, trying specific behavioral strategies, and reviewing how those steps worked in real life. The emphasis is on what someone can try now, then assess what helped.
Sebastian aims to reduce the build-up of resentment and the snap reactions that follow. He helps people notice triggers, practice alternative responses, and rebuild trust in relationships through clearer communication. He also supports people dealing with work stress and career-related pressure.
His bilingual ability can help Spanish speakers who prefer to talk in that language. Sebastian asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling the first session, so initial meetings can focus on priorities rather than paperwork.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to make sure the format fits their needs.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Evidence-based cognitive and behavioral techniques focus on identifying thought patterns and testing new behaviors. In practice this means noticing the thoughts that precede anger, trying alternative responses, and reviewing which steps reduced tension in daily life. These approaches work well for stress, anxiety, and habitual angry reactions.Skills-based emotion regulation work teaches concrete strategies to manage immediate arousal. That can include breathing or grounding practices, brief behavioral experiments, and planning safer ways to express frustration. These tools aim to reduce snap reactions and make communication clearer.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sebastian will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what works, adapt techniques, and focus on practical changes that can be used between sessions.
Confirm the live session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks at work. Check the platform details and schedule to see how sessions will fit your routine.
