About Silvie

Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Silvie focuses on stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns among other issues. She centers work on each person's strengths and helps them build practical skills to feel more grounded in daily life.

Silvie uses body-awareness methods alongside talk therapy to help people notice how tension and emotion show up in the body. She also uses tools like the Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram when helpful to explain patterns and preferences. These tools are offered as ways to make sense of recurring struggles, not as labels.

Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions move between gentle reflection and concrete skill building, depending on what the person needs that week. The aim is to increase self-understanding and develop realistic strategies for everyday challenges.

Silvie has experience supporting teens, young adults, and Spanish-speaking clients. She emphasizes collaboration, asking questions, and setting small, achievable goals. People who work with her often focus on coping with life changes, improving sleep and routine, managing anxiety, and addressing past trauma.

To begin, she encourages a straightforward first step: share what matters most right now, and together set clear, manageable goals. Therapy is paced to fit each person’s life and priorities.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections shape current relationships. Online sessions can use discussion and gentle exercises to notice relational patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, listens closely, and helps clarify priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings, and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit best for a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting over time so sessions match what helps most.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the options available before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Some formats are better for skills practice, while others suit longer reflections or body-awareness work. Discuss which arrangement fits daily routines and learning style during the initial scheduling conversation.
