About Silvia

Silvia Bibas is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship tensions, and career challenges. Silvia aims to help people take the first step toward clearer goals and stronger coping skills.

Silvia works from the view that each person knows their own story best. She helps clients identify strengths they already have and use them to address hard moments. That practical, respectful stance guides how she plans sessions and sets goals.

Her background spans long-term work with people facing grief, trauma, parenting pressures, intimacy issues, and anger. She also supports those handling life transitions such as separation, caregiving for older adults, immigration challenges, and health-related stress like cancer or postpartum depression.

Silvia draws on several clinical approaches to shape sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and patterns, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to address relationship and attachment concerns, and Narrative and Mindfulness techniques to reframe stories and build present-moment skills.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Payment and session details vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How Silvia’s approaches translate to online therapy

Silvia integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's goals, helping people feel heard and understood. CBT focuses on recognizing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress or anger, and teaching practical skills to change them. EFT targets emotional responses and attachment patterns in close relationships, helping people name and shift hurtful interaction cycles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Silvia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time, checking in often to make sure the work feels helpful and relevant.

The original biography does not list explicit online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and allow people to use mindfulness and CBT tools between meetings. Many find that regular virtual sessions support steady progress on anger, relationships, stress, and life transitions when combined with practical exercises and between-session practice.
