How his approaches translate to online work

Sergio often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that ease stress and anxiety. CBT focuses on clear steps and practice between sessions to change daily routines and reactions.

He also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy which emphasizes quick, practical goals. That approach can help people identify immediate next steps and build momentum when facing career strain, parenting stress, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person's goals, strengths, and comfort level. Sessions can change as progress is made so treatment stays relevant and useful.
