About Silvie

Silvie Wilson is an LMFT licensed in California with 11 years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with parenting, career changes, eating and sleeping concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Silvie uses practical, body-aware methods alongside talk therapy to help people notice how feelings show up in the body. She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-focused and client-centered approaches to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. Sessions can include personality tools such as Myers-Briggs or the Enneagram when that helps clarify patterns.

Her work includes helping people process trauma, rebuild confidence after loss, and manage strong emotions like anger or impulsivity. She also addresses relationship communication, codependency, and commitment issues by looking at attachment patterns and interaction habits. When clients prefer, she can offer insights from her study of astrology as an optional perspective rather than a treatment method.

Silvie speaks English and Spanish and has experience working with teens and young adults as noted in her background. She frames therapy as collaborative work where the client’s experience guides the focus and pacing. Practical skill-building and body awareness are used alongside conversation to create concrete steps clients can try between sessions.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients choose the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session to begin.

How Silvie applies CBT and attachment work in online sessions

Silvie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that lead to anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful behaviors. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts, testing them with small experiments, and practicing different responses to see what changes.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach helps with communication problems, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns by identifying repeated interaction styles and practicing new responses.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. Sessions may blend CBT, attachment work, client-centered listening, or DBT skills depending on the need and preference.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people bring observations from their daily life directly into sessions so skills can be practiced between meetings.
