Silvia pays attention to how relationships, family of origin, and caregiving stress shape daily life and mood. She helps people address practical problems such as communication difficulties, divorce and separation, postpartum depression, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
Her work often centers on building clearer patterns of thought and action so people feel more in control of day-to-day choices.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Silvia frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to try specific, repeatable changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and social fears because it breaks issues into manageable steps.She also uses Solution Focused Brief Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify small actions that signal progress. Motivational Interviewing appears when people want help deciding what matters next and need support to move toward a chosen goal. Each method focuses on concrete changes rather than abstract theory.
Finding the right approach is part of early work. Silvia will discuss which techniques seem to fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust methods as sessions reveal what helps. This is a collaborative process with practical checkpoints and goal-setting.
