About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, and anger. Sessions can be held in English or Spanish.
Silvie draws on attachment-based and client-centered work to help people understand how past relationships shape current reactions. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for managing intense feelings. Her approach is practical and focused on what people can do between sessions.
She also uses body-awareness methods to help clients notice how feelings show up physically and to develop grounding options that fit daily life. Personality tools such as Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram are sometimes used to clarify patterns and build self-understanding when clients want that perspective.
Silvie has experience supporting Spanish-speaking clients and younger adults, and she has worked with a wide range of life challenges including trauma, addiction, parenting strains, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She describes clients as the experts on their stories and aims to work in a collaborative way.
Practical steps are emphasized in sessions: noticing triggers, building small habits, practicing emotion regulation skills, and testing new behaviors. Her stated goal is to help people increase confidence and find clearer purpose, without promising a specific outcome.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Silvie commonly blends attachment-based work with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns continue to influence current reactions and helps people notice recurring interaction styles. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so clients make sense of their own experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change behaviors and reduce distress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. You and the therapist can adapt methods over time, adding skills practice, body-awareness exercises, or personality-focused exploration as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and letting people access Spanish or English sessions from different locations in California. Talk with the therapist about which format best supports your goals and daily routine.
