About Silvana
Silvana Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, family issues, and LGBT-related matters. She speaks English and works with people facing isolation, workplace strain, and caregiver stress.
Silvana uses a trauma-informed and culturally responsive stance. She pays attention to how identity, discrimination, and multicultural background affect daily life. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage anxiety and stress, and on processing past hurt from abuse or traumatic events.
She supports clients navigating gender dysphoria and other gender identity concerns, and works with people recovering from domestic violence. Conversations often include addressing family-of-origin patterns and relationship dynamics that keep problems repeating.
Silvana also helps with more specific sources of distress such as abandonment, caregiver strain, prejudice and discrimination, and workplace issues. She aims to help people reduce isolation and build clearer ways to connect with others.
Her style is collaborative. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people find concrete changes they can try between sessions. To start, clients choose the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Silvana describes her practice as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a trauma-informed, culturally responsive stance. Two common approaches she uses are trauma-focused methods and skills-based anxiety work. Trauma-focused methods help people process painful memories and reduce their impact on daily life by pacing exposure and integrating new perspectives. Skills-based anxiety work teaches concrete tools for calming the nervous system and managing worry in the moment.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss current concerns, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. If something does not help, they adjust the plan together so the work stays practical and focused on immediate problems.
Confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online appointments can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care during workweeks or when attending appointments would otherwise be difficult.
