About Sergio
Sergio Fernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. He draws on 26 years of experience to guide clients toward clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses. He keeps sessions collaborative and straightforward.
Sergio helps people sort through relationship strain, grief, anger, and self-esteem problems. He also supports those facing career stress, parenting challenges, caregiving burden, and complex mood concerns like bipolar disorder.
How Sergio works
His work often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques to target current problems and build concrete skills. For trauma-related concerns he uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful memories and reduce their day-to-day impact. Sergio emphasizes short, usable tools you can apply between sessions.
He helps people identify unhelpful thinking, try new behaviors, and set small achievable goals. This practical orientation aims to make progress feel noticeable and manageable. Over his career he has also worked with issues tied to abandonment, attachment patterns, blended family adjustments, codependency, and major life changes such as divorce or serious illness.
He offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support options
Approach-driven online care for practical change
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond well to skill-building and structured practice.Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and future-oriented goals. It helps people move from problem talk to concrete next steps when they want quicker, goal-directed progress.
Trauma-Focused Therapy works with traumatic memories and their effects on day-to-day life. It aims to reduce distress tied to past events while building coping tools for emotional regulation.
Sergio will work collaboratively to find which approach, or combination of approaches, fits a person’s needs and goals. He discusses options, watches how a method lands, and adjusts plans together so therapy matches what feels most helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit into brief breaks or ongoing check-ins. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and busy schedules.
