About Silvie

Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who draws on attachment-based and somatic-informed perspectives to help clients work through patterns that limit growth.

Background and approach

With 11 years of professional experience in California, she combines evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work to address stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD among other struggles.

Her approach centers on recognizing each client as the expert of their own story while offering practical strategies tailored to individual needs. She integrates personality tools such as Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram when useful, and adapts interventions to surface strengths, increase self-awareness, and build confidence.

Silvie also offers some Spanish-language support for clients who prefer to work in that language. Therapeutic goals often emphasize restoring connection, reducing unhelpful coping patterns, and clarifying life purpose so clients can move toward more satisfying functioning.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at empowerment, growth, and renewed belief in the future.

Integrating attachment and skills work in online therapy

Silvie uses attachment-based therapy to explore how early connection patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping clients identify and shift recurring relational dynamics. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps and teach practical coping strategies for anxiety, mood, and ADHD-related challenges.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as therapy progresses so that interventions fit each person's values and daily life. That collaborative exploration helps ensure techniques are matched to what a client wants to change and how they prefer to work.

Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are impractical.
