Silvie Wilson

Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and speaks English and Spanish. Silvie emphasizes a respectful, client-led approach that centers each person's strengths and goals.

Silvie draws on attachment-based and client-centered methods to build trust and clarify what matters to each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical tools to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical alternatives. Emotion-focused ideas are woven in to address strong emotions and improve emotional connection to oneself.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, anger, and challenges like ADHD and bipolar mood patterns. She also addresses issues such as body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

Silvie uses somatic, body-awareness approaches to help clients work through fears, trauma responses, and stuck patterns. She sometimes incorporates personality tools such as Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram to help people understand recurring reactions and preferences. She can discuss astrological perspectives when clients request that input.

Her goal is to empower people to recognize strengths, increase confidence, and find clearer direction. To begin, she asks clients to reflect on what they want to change and then builds practical, individualized strategies to move forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this work looks at how clients relate, feel safe enough to share, and practice new ways of connecting to themselves and others. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following the client's lead; online meetings are used to create a steady, supportive space for people to tell their story and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it often includes practical tools and homework that can be reviewed between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose strategies that fit the person's needs. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress happens.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make scheduling easier, reduce commute time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. It can also let people use phone rather than video if they prefer less bandwidth or a quicker check-in. Talk with the therapist about practical needs and the best way to fit therapy into daily life.
