About Sergio
Sergio Fernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical strategies for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and changes at work or home. He helps people talk through relationship difficulties and communication problems.
He also supports those dealing with caregiving strain, compassion fatigue, and mood challenges such as bipolar disorder. ADHD is listed among his common concerns and he integrates that into care when it is part of a client's story.
Background and approach
Sergio uses straightforward, evidence-based methods. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape sessions that match each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize clear steps, skills practice, and progress that people can notice between visits.
His approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. He listens for patterns that get in the way, then works with clients to try small changes that build over time. Goals are practical and measurable, like reducing panic, improving sleep, or resolving a repeating conflict.
Sergio works by phone, video, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. He aims to make the process less overwhelming and more manageable for people taking the first steps toward change.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and practical life difficulties. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, concrete changes and strengths that move a person toward their goals quickly. It often suits people who want short-term direction and measurable steps. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic events by helping a person process memories and reduce the ways trauma disrupts daily life.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining methods or adjusting the focus over several sessions as needs become clearer.
Online therapy with Sergio is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for full conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or ongoing coaching-style support. These options make it easier to match therapy to a person's schedule and comfort while using the chosen therapeutic approaches.
