About Sergio

Sergio Fernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 26 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and anger. He also supports people dealing with career strain, parenting and life transitions.

Sergio uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people change how they react to stress and strong emotions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to set small, achievable goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past events continue to affect day-to-day life.

Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. People who come to him often want clearer communication, better coping strategies, and ways to manage frustration before it builds into bigger problems. He talks through patterns, practices new skills in session, and plans steps to try between meetings.

His approach is collaborative and problem-focused. He helps people name what triggers anger, test different responses, and notice what works in real situations. He also addresses related concerns such as attention difficulties, caregiver stress, and relationship boundaries.

Sergio has worked across many presenting issues over his career, including burnout, attachment and blended family challenges. People seeking to reduce reactivity, improve workplace interactions, or recover from past hurt can expect direct, practical work aimed at steady progress.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions commonly involve tracking patterns, trying short exercises, and setting homework between meetings to test new ways of responding to anger or anxiety.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and measurable goals. In remote sessions this can look like setting one achievable target to practice during the week and checking progress in the next meeting.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of past events on current reactions. When used online, the therapist may move at a measured pace and introduce grounding or coping skills to reduce overwhelm while processing difficult memories.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That collaborative selection can change over time as needs and responses become clearer.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to practice skills between meetings.
