About Sergio

Sergio Fernandez is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, and the stress of life changes. Sergio aims to create a calm place where people can talk honestly and feel heard.

He uses practical methods to help people manage intense emotions and improve daily functioning. That includes work on trauma and abuse, coping skills for ADHD, and support for those facing caregiver strain or serious health concerns. Sergio often helps clients sort through communication issues and relationship patterns that keep causing pain.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, steady steps. Techniques come from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sergio helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and track what actually changes.

He brings a straightforward and collaborative style to the work. People set the pace and Sergio adjusts techniques to fit individual needs. The emphasis is on practical tools that can be used between sessions to manage mood, reduce conflict, and rebuild confidence.

Over his career he has supported people through a wide range of concerns, including anger, career stress, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and the challenges of divorce or blended families. Sergio aims to help clients move from surviving to making intentional changes that feel sustainable.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Many of Sergio's methods come from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and working through the effects of past traumatic events so symptoms become easier to manage and daily life improves.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sergio works together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. He checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays relevant and useful.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people do homework between sessions and practice new skills in real-life settings, then bring results back to talk through with the therapist.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
