About Silvie
Silvie Wilson draws on relational and skills-based therapies to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild trust in themselves. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with eleven years of professional experience.
Background and approach
Silvie offers sessions in English and Spanish and uses clear, practical steps so people can act on what they learn in therapy. Silvie blends attachment-focused work with cognitive and emotion-centered approaches.
In sessions she helps clients understand patterns in relationships, name painful feelings, and try small behavior changes that ease daily life. She also teaches skills for managing anxiety, mood swings, and overwhelming stress.
Her practice includes support for grief, trauma and abuse recovery, self-esteem struggles, addiction concerns, and problems with intimacy or communication. She pays attention to how the body holds tension and uses body-awareness strategies when helpful.
Assessment tools such as personality inventories may be used to clarify strengths and patterns when a client wants that input. Silvie frames therapy as a partnership.
She aims to help people feel more confident in their choices and clearer about their life direction. Sessions focus on practical strategies, emotion regulation skills, and repairing relationship patterns.
People who choose her often want a therapist who listens without judgment, offers concrete tools, and speaks both English and Spanish. Her work reflects eleven years helping people navigate change, cope with losses, and rebuild a steadier sense of self.
How attachment and skills work translate to online therapy
Silvie uses attachment-based approaches to map how relationships shape feelings and reactions. That work focuses on noticing patterns in trust and closeness, naming emotional needs, and trying new ways of connecting that feel safer and clearer.She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes, and on emotionally-focused techniques to name and process strong feelings. These methods are practical and goal-oriented, helping with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and relationship concerns.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust plans as progress is made. Clients help set priorities and decide which techniques to use.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for longer work and face-to-face conversation, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, and family life.
