About Sergio
Sergio Fernandez is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and other life challenges that often show up in early adulthood.
Sergio listens for what feels stuck and helps people name the patterns that get in the way. He uses straightforward techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented so people can try new ways of coping between meetings.
He works with concerns that include parenting and family issues, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and coping with life changes. He also addresses related topics such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and separation or divorce.
Across his work Sergio emphasizes clear steps people can take to reduce symptoms and manage daily tasks. That may look like setting small behavioral goals, testing unhelpful thoughts, or developing a short plan to stabilize after a difficult event. He explains methods plainly and tracks progress together.
Clients who choose him should expect direct conversation, regular check-ins on how strategies are working, and adjustments when a plan needs to change. Sessions are aimed at building practical skills to handle work pressure, relationship strain, transitions after school, and other common young adult stresses.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process the effects of traumatic events by working at a pace they can manage. It focuses on understanding reactions to past events and building steps to reduce their hold on day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets current thoughts and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills for reducing anxiety, lifting mood, and changing routines that contribute to stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and future goals rather than on long reviews of the past.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation, goals, and preferences, and then recommend which methods to try first. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Please confirm available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work shifts, or commuting. They can allow for shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and help people keep continuity of care during moves or job changes. Therapists and licensed professionals will discuss practical details so sessions fit into everyday life and commitments.
