About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 11 years of practice in California. She works with English and Spanish speakers and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people facing trauma, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and life transitions.
Silvie draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered methods to build a safe, respectful therapy space. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach practical skills for managing emotions and behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy informs her work around closeness and attachment concerns.
Her approach blends talking and body awareness. She uses somatic or body-awareness practices to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body. That awareness becomes a starting point for new ways of coping and feeling more grounded.
Silvie sometimes works with personality tools like Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram when clients want them. She has also studied astrology and can include insights from that when requested. These tools are used to help people understand patterns and make sense of their experiences.
She centers each person as the expert of their own story and focuses on strengths and values. Sessions aim to increase motivation, reduce shame or isolation, and help people regain confidence in their purpose.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships, rebuild trust, and feel safer in relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and choices, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting back what matters most. This approach supports self-direction and personal insight. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match their needs and preferences. That way the plan can change as progress unfolds or as new issues come up. Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow appointments from different locations. Some formats can be shorter check-ins, or audio-only conversations when video isn't convenient, which helps people maintain consistency without disrupting their day. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people apply new skills in everyday life and make changes that matter.Areas of expertise
