About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and works in both English and Spanish. Silvie focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more capable.
She uses client-centered conversation to learn what matters most to each person. That helps her tailor sessions to goals like reducing anxiety, managing ADHD-related challenges, grieving a loss, or coping with burnout.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present struggles. Silvie blends cognitive tools and emotion-focused work to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with their feelings. She also incorporates elements from dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and coping skills.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and grounded in everyday life, not abstract theory. She often references personality frameworks such as Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram when clients want that perspective. Those tools are used to clarify patterns and support goal-setting, not to label or limit anyone.
Some clients choose to explore somatic, body-awareness practices to address trauma-related tension and anxiety. Silvie emphasizes collaboration: clients set priorities and she offers options that fit their pace and values. Her approach is practical, supportive, and focused on building confidence and clearer next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Silvie combines attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, trust, and recurring relationship struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change problematic behaviors.Finding the right approach is collaborative. Silvie asks about goals, current struggles, and personal preferences, then suggests approaches to try together. That may mean mixing methods over several sessions and adjusting based on what feels most useful to the client.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth or turning on a camera is difficult, live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling easier for people balancing work, caregiving, or school.
