About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 11 years of clinical experience in California. She works with English and Spanish speakers to address anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, and life changes.
Silvie favors approaches that focus on attachment and emotions while keeping the person at the center of care. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help people change unhelpful thoughts and manage strong feelings.
How Silvie works
Sessions often include discussion of patterns from early relationships and how those patterns show up today. Silvie also draws on somatic awareness to help people notice how the body holds stress and trauma. That can mean simple grounding and breathing techniques or learning small bodily cues that signal overwhelm.
She uses personality frameworks such as Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram when clients find them useful for self-understanding. Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She treats the person in the room as the expert on their life and focuses on practical steps to build confidence and purpose.
People leave sessions with tools they can try between meetings. Silvie practices throughout California and carries the LMFT credential. She invites those ready to take a step toward change to consider matching and scheduling a first session.

Online support options
How attachment and skill-based work fits online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people connect and respond in relationships. Online sessions can explore those patterns through discussion and in-session exercises that highlight recurring reactions and needs.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person and their goals, with the therapist following what matters most to the client. This approach supports exploring values, building confidence, and deciding practical next steps at a pace that suits the client.
Silvie combines these approaches with CBT or DBT techniques when helpful. Finding the best approach is part of the process - she will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short updates, tracking progress, or getting brief skills reminders between meetings. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and try approaches that suit their daily life.
