About Silvie
Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings 11 years of clinical experience and speaks both English and Spanish. Silvie focuses on practical support for parents who are juggling stress, anxiety, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and other life demands.
Silvie uses client-centered work to meet each person where they are and build on strengths. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand patterns in close relationships and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
These approaches guide sessions that are straightforward and goal-oriented. In sessions she helps people break down problems into small, manageable steps. Parents often come for help with overwhelm, anger, motivation, boundaries, or co-parenting stress.
She pays attention to what a person notices in their body and daily life and uses that information to shape practical strategies. Silvie also integrates tools that help people understand personality and patterns when clients want them. She offers work in Spanish when requested.
Her aim is to empower clients to name their challenges, try specific skills, and notice what changes over time. Her style is collaborative and respectful. She encourages hope and a clear plan for next steps.
Clients leave with concrete strategies they can use between sessions and a clearer sense of direction.

Attachment and CBT approaches in online parenting support
Silvie often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early patterns show up in relationships today. This approach helps people notice triggers, understand emotional responses, and build new interaction habits that reduce conflict and increase connection.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep or eating difficulties, and for building step-by-step plans to handle parenting stress.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Silvie will work with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration helps shape the pace and tools used in sessions so they feel relevant and doable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for in-depth conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practice of new skills, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
