About Silvie

Silvie Wilson is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who integrates Internal Family Systems with relational and skills-based approaches to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and patterns that block growth.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of methods including attachment-focused work, cognitive and dialectical strategies, and person-centered attitudes to tailor support around each client's needs and lived experience. Her practice emphasizes empowering clients to notice inner parts, shift limiting beliefs, and develop practical coping skills that fit their daily lives.

Silvie brings 11 years of clinical experience to her work and offers services in both English and Spanish. She attends to a wide set of concerns such as depression, addictions, intimacy and relationship issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and challenges around career, parenting, and life transitions.

She also explores related themes like body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness, helping clients clarify values and strengthen resilience over time.

Working with parts, attachment, and skills through online care

Silvie integrates Internal Family Systems to help clients identify and relate to different inner parts, opening pathways to resolve internal conflict and heal from trauma. She also uses attachment-based methods to explore relational patterns that shape emotional responses and connection needs, helping clients improve how they relate to others and themselves. In addition she brings a client-centered stance that emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration, allowing clients to guide the pace and focus of work.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals, preferences, and life context and then recommend a blend of methods that feels most useful. Over time the plan can be adjusted as needs shift, with the client actively involved in shaping treatment priorities and practical strategies.

Online therapy with Silvie is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from California and accommodate varied routines, allowing work on emotion regulation, trauma processing, relationship patterns, and daily coping skills from wherever the client is located.
