About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, and parenting strain. She also supports clients dealing with sleep and eating difficulties, anger, career transitions, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Silvie often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. She also draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior tools when they suit a person's goals. Her work includes body-awareness or somatic methods to help people notice how stress and trauma show up in the body and to develop concrete strategies for reducing their impact.
She has experience working with teens, young adults, and Spanish-speaking clients. Silvie uses personality frameworks such as Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram when helpful to clarify patterns and make sense of emotional responses. She can also offer astrological insights if a client is interested in that perspective.
In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. She focuses on creating practical, manageable steps to address fears, negative beliefs, and habits that get in the way of daily life. Her approach aims to help people regain a clearer sense of purpose and confidence in moving forward.
For someone juggling many demands, Silvie emphasizes short, usable strategies that fit into everyday life. She helps clients develop skills for emotional regulation, improved communication, and steadier coping during times of change.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and name hard-to-reach emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It focuses on what happens between people and on the feelings that drive those patterns, which can be explored in conversation and gentle experiential exercises online.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns, practice new ways of connecting, and test different responses in the moment with therapist guidance.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps the client steer the work. This approach supports building practical skills and clarifying what matters most to the client.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help decide whether EFT, attachment work, client-centered sessions, or a mix of strategies fits best. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs and goals evolve.
Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm which formats are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around family, school, or work. It also allows shorter check-ins when time is limited and makes it possible to use audio-only options when video is not needed or preferred.
