About Silvie

Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in California with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with English and Spanish speakers and focuses on helping people build self esteem, manage stress and anxiety, and recover from trauma. She emphasizes practical steps and strength-based support so clients can begin to feel more confident and purposeful.

Silvie often brings somatic, or body-awareness, techniques into sessions to help people notice and shift patterns tied to fear and trauma. She also uses personality tools like Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram when clients find them helpful for gaining self-understanding. These tools are used to make therapy feel more relatable and tailored to each person.

Her approach centers on collaboration and respect for the client’s perspective. The therapist listens first, then helps identify small, workable changes that build confidence. She aims to help clients turn insight into everyday habits that reduce anxiety and improve relationships and motivation.

Silvie has particular experience supporting teens and young adults, and she offers sessions in Spanish for those who prefer it. She will work with clients on issues such as grief, addiction, body image, parenting challenges, career decisions, and coping with life changes.

Clients who choose to work with her can expect a calm, encouraging style that focuses on strengths. She helps people notice what already works for them, and then builds on those skills to address shame, isolation, impulsivity, or low self-worth.

Approaches that guide online work

Silvie integrates attachment-based ideas and client-centered care to help people feel understood and seen. Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people notice connection needs and build safer ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaborating to make a plan that fits the person’s goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT teaches practical skills for anxiety, low self esteem, and mood changes by breaking problems into manageable steps and trying small experiments between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she tailors a mix of approaches so sessions feel useful and relevant.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in this biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering options that suit work or school schedules. Ask about current session options when you schedule so you can pick what works best for your routine.
