About Silvia
Silvia Bibas is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career challenges, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Silvia centers conversations on the client's experience. She treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build from. In practice she listens, reflects, and offers tools that people can try between sessions. That practical focus aims to reduce overwhelm and make changes feel manageable.
Her work often addresses family and parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports people facing life transitions, burnout or compassion fatigue, and immigration or multicultural stressors. Silvia can talk through blended family issues, divorce and separation, and care challenges tied to aging or serious illness.
Silvia uses a few different approaches depending on what a person needs. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the person's priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify thoughts and behaviors that keep patterns going. Emotionally-focused and narrative techniques help name feelings and reframe difficult stories.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and costs vary by location. Silvia does not accept international clients. To begin, choose the See online therapy options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Silvia commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening and helping the person identify priorities and strengths. It helps when someone wants to take control of their responses and set personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and gives clear exercises to try between sessions to change patterns.She also uses emotionally-focused and narrative techniques to help name difficult feelings and reframe personal stories. Together these approaches give both short-term tools and a way to work through deeper patterns. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process and she will help you choose methods that match your needs and goals.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so appointments are simpler to keep. Therapists and licensed professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity of care and to try new coping strategies between meetings.
