About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and works in both English and Spanish.
Background and approach
Her approach centers on practical, person-focused therapy that helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and other common life struggles. Silvie blends relational tools with body-awareness work to help people notice how emotions show up physically.
She uses this somatic perspective to teach simple strategies for calming the body and shifting stuck reactions. She also draws on personality frameworks such as Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram when clients find those tools helpful.
Her practice supports people coping with grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses issues like sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions focus on clear, achievable steps people can try between meetings. Silvie uses established therapeutic models to guide the work.
Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are paired with attachment-based and client-centered methods to fit each person’s needs. The Gottman Method is part of the approaches she includes when relational patterns are a focus.
She aims to empower people to recognize strengths and build hope for the future. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process where clients set goals and Silvie helps map practical ways to reach them.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Silvie uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach helps people understand why they feel distant, anxious, or stuck in repeating patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also part of her toolkit and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that worsen mood and anxiety.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together with the client she reviews goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. From there she tailors a mix of methods and suggests practical exercises to try between sessions so progress is clear and measurable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people use body-awareness and observe interaction patterns. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, skill practice, and flexible scheduling. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
