About Silvia
Silvia Bibas is a Florida LMHC with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and parenting concerns. Silvia also addresses self-esteem, career questions, grief, trauma, and issues related to identity and discrimination.
Silvia frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and habits that already help, then points out patterns that get in the way. Sessions are practical and focused on small, testable changes rather than long lectures or vague promises.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation grounded in what matters to each person. Emotionally-Focused and narrative methods help when relationships, loss, or identity feel central to the problem.
Silvia supports people coping with life transitions such as separation, blended family stress, aging concerns, immigration, cancer, or postpartum difficulties. She also works with those facing work burnout, compassion fatigue, or long-standing patterns like codependency and commitment worries.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. People who are considering therapy are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how the approach fits their goals and daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Silvia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions often focus on concrete skills, short homework tasks, and tracking small changes between meetings.She also brings client-centered methods that prioritize the client's concerns and experience. This means the conversation is driven by what the person says matters most. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship patterns or attachment feelings are central, helping people name and respond to strong emotions in clearer ways.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Silvia will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as needed over time.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Because the specific session formats in her practice are not listed here, confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to keep therapy regular and to practice skills between meetings without reshuffling a whole day.
