About Marie
Marie Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stressed, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes. Marie centers each session on the person's own strengths and goals.
She offers steady support for people who are facing grief, low self-esteem, or compassion fatigue. Her work emphasizes practical steps and clear conversations. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
How Marie works
Marie also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and make choices that fit those priorities. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach, which means sessions are paced around what the person needs most in the moment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used when relationship feelings and attachment questions are part of the work.
Mindfulness tools are offered to build calm and increase present-moment awareness. Marie aims to make therapy feel collaborative. She listens first, then suggests tools and experiments to try between sessions.
The emphasis is on small, doable changes that add up over time. She works with a range of relationship and family concerns, including communication problems, family of origin issues, infidelity, and parenting strain. Other focuses include guilt and shame, control issues, feelings of emptiness, and mood disorders.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The format is selected to fit each person’s needs and schedule.

How Marie’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people figure out what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions use brief exercises and goal-setting so clients can practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing new responses. In virtual sessions this often means homework, tracking patterns, and reviewing results together. Client-Centered Therapy is based on listening and responding to what the person needs in the moment, with the therapist following the client's pace and priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest one or more methods to try. The choice is collaborative, and adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more nuance is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, daily tracking, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving between sessions.
