About Sebastian
Sebastian Bliffeld is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 14 years of professional experience. He practices in New York and speaks both English and Spanish.
Background and approach
Sebastian focuses on helping people who are navigating relationship strain, trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and anger. He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Sessions are shaped around the issues the client brings and the goals they want to reach. He adapts conversations and plans so they fit each person's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method.
Sebastian also pays attention to related stresses such as caregiver burden, chronic illness or pain, financial strain, and workplace pressures. He helps people untangle communication problems, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame.
For those coping with past trauma or post-traumatic stress, he supports steps toward greater emotional safety and stability. People looking to clarify life purpose, address masculinity or sexuality concerns, or rebuild after separation will find structured, goal-focused sessions.
He supports recovery from traumatic brain injury and the practical and emotional adjustments that follow. Discussions cover both immediate coping and longer-term strategies.
Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish, and Sebastian accepts international clients for remote work. He encourages people to take the first step and reach out when they are ready to change how they feel and relate.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sebastian uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the client. One approach focuses on processing trauma in manageable steps to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This helps people who are living with past abuse or post-traumatic stress work through upsetting memories and build safer coping skills. Another common approach centers on improving communication and intimacy. Sessions include exercises to notice interaction patterns, practice new ways of speaking, and rebuild trust and closeness. This is useful for people dealing with relationship strain or intimacy-related concerns. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sebastian will discuss options, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what the client finds most helpful. He partners with clients to match methods to their goals, needs, and personal preferences. Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls make it possible to have face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions are good for brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients send updates between sessions or use a shorter format for reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.Frequently asked questions
