About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, parenting strain, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. She sees English and Spanish speakers and has experience with teens and young adults.
Silvie uses a blend of approaches to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. She also brings in somatic, body-awareness strategies when bodily reactions are part of the problem.
Silvie often uses personality tools such as Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram to help people make sense of their preferences and recurring patterns. She may discuss astrology if a client is interested in that lens. These tools are used to spark insight and practical next steps rather than to label someone.
In sessions she focuses on clear, doable strategies. That can mean short behavior experiments, emotion regulation skills, or grounding practices for anxiety and trauma. She also helps with practical parenting concerns and fatherhood issues, and with boundaries, communication, and codependency.
Her stated aim is to help people gain stronger belief in their purpose and more confidence in everyday life. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Silvie blends attachment-based work with client-centered and cognitive behavioral techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and expectations, which can help with relationship strains, intimacy worries, and fatherhood issues. Client-centered methods focus on listening and building understanding so a person can name what matters and set goals. Cognitive behavioral tools address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and small experiments.Choosing the best approach is collaborative. She will talk with the client about goals, past attempts at change, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust those methods over time based on what helps the client make steady progress.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can adapt DBT skills training, CBT exercises, and attachment-focused conversations to an online meeting to support coping with anxiety, grief, parenting strain, and relationship concerns.
