About Sebastian

He speaks English and Spanish and holds licenses in both New York (NY LMFT 000903) and New Jersey (NJ LMFT 37FI00177100). Sebastian focuses on relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and anger.

He meets people with respect and sensitivity and adapts his work to each person’s situation.

Background and approach

He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and builds a plan that fits the person in front of him. Sessions are conversational and practical. Sebastian works to make steps feel clear and manageable rather than overwhelming.

Clients commonly bring worries about communication, guilt and shame, or injuries from past trauma. He also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness or disability, and workplace tensions. Sebastian pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes values and choices.

He supports people navigating divorce, money stress, sexual concerns, and questions about life purpose. For men’s issues and intimacy problems he offers direct yet compassionate guidance. He also helps when traumatic brain injury or post-traumatic stress are part of the picture.

Sebastian tailors pace and techniques to each person’s goals. He explains options plainly and helps set realistic next steps. If someone prefers English or Spanish, he can speak either language during sessions.

Evidence-based approaches for online support

Many of Sebastian's methods come from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves structured problem-solving and communication exercises that help people improve how they talk about needs and set boundaries; this can be useful for relationship tension, parenting stress, and workplace conflicts. Another frequently used method emphasizes trauma-informed care, which helps people safely process upsetting experiences and manage triggers without being overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sebastian will discuss options, listen to what matters most, and jointly decide which methods fit a person's goals and pace. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real-life needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work when video isn't possible, and live chat or text-based messaging provide ongoing check-ins and brief support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work when life gets unpredictable.
