About Stephanie
Stephanie Silva is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship or family concerns. She speaks English and works with adults on issues like grief, parenting strain, career stress, and questions about intimacy and sexuality.
Her tone in sessions is direct and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Silva draws on several therapy styles to shape each plan.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot patterns that keep problems going and to test small changes. She also brings techniques from dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. She values working collaboratively.
That means setting clear goals together and adjusting methods if something isn’t helping. She doesn’t follow a single template for everyone and designs plans to match individual needs and life circumstances. Her background includes work in emergency and military-linked settings and with people who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, or complex medical and caregiving situations.
That experience informs how she supports people through crisis, loss, and life transitions. Online and remote formats are part of how she practices, which lets people fit sessions into busy schedules. To get started clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions in that direction even when feelings are difficult. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where values guide choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood, worry, or concentration problems. It’s often used for depression, anxiety, and attention-related struggles.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. That flexible process helps tailor work to each person’s life and priorities.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief conversations into a busy day or to follow up between sessions. These options make regular support more flexible and easier to keep up with for people juggling work, caregiving, or other commitments.
