About Stephanie
Stephanie Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina and Florida with 14 years of practice. She focuses on common life pressures like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, LGBT issues, career challenges, ADHD, and major life changes.
Her background includes military service and roles across healthcare and community settings. That experience involved deployment case management, emergency room social work, and family advocacy work with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, suicidal behavior, and substance use. She has worked with agencies such as child protective services, shelters, victims' advocates, and military support services.
In sessions she uses practical, interactive methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to look at thoughts and actions. She also uses dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to connect values with action.
Stephanie explains options clearly and helps set concrete goals. She does not use a single fixed method for everyone, and she adjusts plans based on what is working. Conversations focus on immediate problems and steps people can try between sessions.
People who contact her should expect direct talk about current stressors, problem-solving, and clear strategies to try at home. She welcomes clients who want straightforward guidance and tools to manage day-to-day challenges and longer transitions.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches work with online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and testing thoughts and behaviors, then trying practical experiments to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and emotional overwhelm.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to pick techniques that fit the person's needs and daily life demands.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time, which helps when fitting sessions around work, family, or caregiving duties. Some approaches lend themselves to short check-ins or workbook-style practice between meetings, and that can be helpful when people want clear tools to use during the week.
