About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 11 years of clinical experience. She blends somatic work with conversational therapy to help people understand how their bodies and thoughts respond to stress. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and often uses personality tools when helpful.
Silvie focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. She also supports people dealing with trauma, self-esteem issues, addictions, and life transitions.
Background and approach
She pays attention to relationship and intimacy concerns along with challenges such as sleep, eating, and parenting strain. In session she emphasizes body awareness alongside talking therapy. That can mean noticing tension, breath, posture, or physical reactions as part of understanding emotions.
She aims to create strategies that feel practical and suited to each person’s day-to-day life. Silvie also draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, and Dialectical Behavior approaches when those methods fit a person’s needs. She may use personality frameworks like Myers-Briggs or the Enneagram to help people make sense of patterns and strengths.
Her stated goal is to empower people to identify strengths and build confidence in their purpose and future. The tone in sessions is collaborative and warm, with attention to both feelings and bodily experience. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Approaches that translate to online care
Somatic work focuses on body awareness and simple in-the-moment practices to notice sensations, breath, and tension, which can help with anxiety, trauma responses, and stress regulation in everyday life.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people relate and form emotional bonds, helping to clarify relationship dynamics and improve communication and emotional safety.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s experience, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s pace to build insight and confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That exploration can start in an early session and shift over time as priorities change.
Online sessions using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when schedules or locations change. These formats allow for regular check-ins, skills practice between meetings, and flexible communication that supports steady progress.
