Background and approach
In sessions she aims to create a steady, supportive space where people can talk through painful experiences and confusing feelings. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal oriented, with attention to small changes that add up over time. She helps clients learn tools they can use between meetings.
Silvia often addresses communication problems and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also works with people exploring life purpose and learning to practice more self-love. These topics are woven into therapy alongside the primary concerns of anxiety, stress, and relationship strain.
Based in New York, Silvia brings compassion and direct guidance to her work. She encourages people to take the first steps toward change and stays focused on practical progress as clients move toward clearer goals and greater confidence.
Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care
Silvia draws on established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety and stress. She uses approaches that teach practical coping skills for worry and tension, showing people ways to notice stress responses and try small changes that reduce symptoms. She also works with strategies for processing trauma and painful experiences, helping clients make sense of what happened and reduce its hold on daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Silvia collaborates with each person to identify preferred methods and goals, adjusting techniques as needs change. She helps clients pick what feels most useful, and checks in about progress so the plan stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video mirrors a face-to-face visit, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits short check-ins or those who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
