About Silvia
Silvia Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 33 years of professional experience. She speaks both English and Spanish and brings bicultural understanding to sessions. Silvia focuses on relationship, family, parenting, career, and coping with life changes.
She helps people address relationship struggles and family conflicts by talking through what is happening now and what patterns repeat over time. Parenting stress and blended family concerns are common topics she works on. Career questions and major life transitions are also areas she supports.
Silvia pays attention to how attachment and abandonment issues affect current behavior. She addresses communication problems, codependency, control issues, and feelings of guilt or shame in straightforward conversation. When domestic violence or separation is part of the history, she helps people sort immediate concerns and next steps.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals, concrete strategies, and steady progress. She adjusts the conversation to fit each person's cultural background and language preference.
People who contact her can expect direct discussion about current problems and concrete ways to manage them between sessions. Silvia aims to make therapy feel like problem-solving you can use in daily life. She encourages small, doable changes and follows up on what works.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Silvia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and patterns of interaction. One common approach used in such work looks at attachment and abandonment patterns to understand why relationships repeat certain dynamics; this helps people change how they relate and communicate. Another approach emphasizes problem-focused work on communication and coping skills, teaching concrete strategies for managing conflict, setting boundaries, and reducing codependent behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, life situation, and cultural background. Clients and the therapist check in over time and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into work and family schedules, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a quick conversation is needed. Those practical benefits often help people keep momentum while working on relationship, parenting, and life-transition issues.
