About Sergio
Sergio Fernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 26 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, stress, and family of origin issues. He also supports people managing ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or caregiving stress.
Sergio uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people notice how old patterns influence present choices. Sessions focus on concrete steps - identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing new behaviors, and tracking small changes that feel manageable. He blends problem-solving work with attention to past experiences that still affect relationships and emotions.
People often come for help with communication problems, commitment worries, or the lingering impact of early family roles. He also addresses anger, self-esteem, and the strain of life transitions like separation, blended family adjustments, or aging-related caregiving. Practical coping skills are paired with reflection about where patterns started.
Therapy sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused. Sergio uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy as tools to structure sessions and guide interventions. He aims to help clients build clearer choices and steadier responses to stressors.
His work includes supporting people dealing with cancer-related concerns, co-morbidity, codependency, and disruption in mood regulation. If someone is unsure about next steps, he typically starts with a short assessment and then plans a few focused sessions to address immediate concerns and set longer-term goals.
How Sergio Uses CBT, Solution-Focused, and Trauma-Focused Work Online
Sergio uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test the thoughts that keep them stuck. CBT looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers exercises to change patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and build on what is already working. That approach concentrates on small, practical steps and measuring progress over a few sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past experiences continue to shape reactions; it focuses on stabilizing symptoms and integrating difficult memories at a pace the client can manage.
Choosing an approach is part of the work. Sergio will discuss goals, preferences, and immediate needs, and then recommend which method or combination to try. He treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts methods as progress and feedback indicate.
