About Stephanie
Stephanie Silva is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of practice. She offers calm, straightforward help for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, or life transitions. She speaks English and works with individuals who want practical ways to cope and move forward.
She combines an interest in meaning and choice with tools that change daily habits. That means talking through how values, thoughts, and actions fit together.
Background and approach
She uses approaches that help people notice what matters and take steps that match those priorities. Her background includes a range of social work roles in medical and community settings. This experience shaped a flexible, problem-focused style that adapts to each person’s needs.
She aims to be direct and compassionate in sessions while inviting clients to set the pace. Sessions typically mix short-term skills and longer conversations about meaning, identity, or difficult history. Stephanie draws from cognitive-behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thinking, dialectical ideas to manage intense emotions, and client-centered practices to keep the person's goals central.
Existential themes about purpose and choice also appear when people are navigating big life questions. She frames therapy as collaborative work. People who want clear strategies plus space to discuss deeper concerns will find a practical, respectful approach.
Starting is done by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

Online support
How her approaches work online and in session
Stephanie often draws from Existential Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Existential work looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility to help people who feel stuck or uncertain about life direction. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking actions that match what matters, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas to keep the person's goals central, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process; she works with each person to figure out which approaches fit their needs and goals. Clients collaborate on goals and try methods together to see what helps.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection for deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or hands-free time is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
