Silvia treats people as the experts of their own stories. She focuses on real-life skills and practical steps.

Her background spans community and clinical settings over more than a decade. That experience informs a pragmatic approach to common pressures like work stress, relationship tension, and feeling stuck. Silvia helps people organize steps, set realistic goals, and build confidence in making changes.
People who choose her often want therapy that connects to everyday life. She supports practical problem solving, clearer communication, and gradual shifts in how people respond to past hurt and current stressors.
BHow sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Silvia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing alternative ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method helps people notice triggers and try small behavioral changes that can improve daily functioning.Another approach emphasizes skills for regulating strong emotions and improving communication. It teaches practical tools for calming intense reactions, setting clearer boundaries, and speaking more effectively in stressful conversations. These skills are often useful for relationship strain and problems with isolation or loneliness.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Silvia will discuss what feels most relevant and practical based on a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She treats the selection of techniques as collaborative and adjusts strategies as progress is made.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or enabling sessions during a lunch break. Ask about session length and scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire to ensure a good practical fit.
