About Silvia
Silvia Bibas is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 20 years of professional experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and changes in life. She works with clients on issues such as self-esteem, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and career or motivation problems. Silvia speaks English and Spanish and practices from Florida.
Silvia uses approachable, straightforward methods that focus on emotions and everyday problems. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at hard-to-name feelings and how they affect close relationships. She also uses Client-Centered approaches to follow each person’s pace and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that fuel distress.
In sessions Silvia encourages people to name feelings, notice patterns, and make small changes that fit their life. She helps clients talk through family stress, blended family adjustments, immigration or multicultural concerns, and issues linked to aging or health challenges. She also supports those coping with postpartum depression, cancer-related stress, and grief.
Silvia frames therapy as a collaborative process. She works with people who want concrete tools for coping as well as those who need space to reflect on painful experiences. Her approach includes narrative techniques to reframe difficult stories and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Silvia works with Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help identify and name emotions that shape relationship patterns. EFT focuses on the emotional bond and on changing interaction patterns that keep people stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client's pace, giving people room to tell their story in their own words. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood and offers practical steps to change them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Silvia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She combines approaches when it helps, and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on how the client is responding.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering sessions during a lunch break. They can also help when someone prefers audio-only conversations or needs lower bandwidth for a session. Ask about language options and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire to find a setup that works for you.
