About Sergio
Sergio Ibanez is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or low mood. He speaks English and Spanish and has seven years of experience helping people through trauma, relationship strain, and questions about self-worth. Sergio aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can begin to feel steadier.
He uses a person-centered style that keeps conversation focused on each person's needs. Sessions are shaped around what feels most useful, whether that means learning new coping skills or working through painful memories. Sergio blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral tools and EMDR to address symptoms and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
In sessions he may introduce DBT strategies for managing intense emotions and the Gottman Method ideas when communication and connection are the main concern. These methods are presented in straightforward language and practiced at a pace that suits each person. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and goals become clearer.
Sergio also supports people dealing with issues related to abandonment, attachment, body image, caregiving stress, immigration, and isolation. He offers guidance on handling guilt, forgiveness, and midlife transitions while helping people find clearer purpose and more reliable coping.
He encourages anyone considering therapy to take the first step. The work starts with a simple conversation to identify goals and decide what to try first.
