About Silvie

Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 11 years of professional experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, addiction, and life changes. She also supports people struggling with relationship and intimacy issues and those exploring fatherhood concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Silvie draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to build a practical, person-focused plan. She uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical skills when helpful to manage thoughts, emotions, and impulses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are also part of her approach for relationship and attachment concerns.

She often integrates body-awareness work to help people notice how stress and trauma show up physically. That can lead to simple, body-based strategies to reduce anxiety or interrupt old reactions. She also uses personality tools like Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram to help clients make sense of patterns and preferences.

Silvie emphasizes strengths and collaboration. She treats the client as the expert on their story and helps them set doable goals. The focus is on building confidence, clearer communication, and practical coping skills for everyday life.

Her background includes extensive work with teens and young adults and with Spanish-speaking clients. She aims to help people reconnect with purpose, manage difficult emotions, and move toward a more satisfying life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Silvie uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions; this helps when people feel stuck repeating old patterns. She also practices client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, reflecting, and building on the client’s strengths to set practical goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in real-life settings and bring questions about daily interactions into the session for timely feedback.
