About Silvia
Silvia Hernandez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 33 years of professional experience. She conducts therapy in English and Spanish and often works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, parenting questions, career changes, and life transitions.
Silvia focuses on clear, practical conversation. She listens for patterns that cause repeated conflict and helps people name them. Topics she commonly addresses include abandonment and attachment worries, blended family issues, communication breakdowns, and the fallout from divorce or separation.
Her approach centers on concrete steps people can try between sessions. That might mean practicing a different way of speaking with a co-parent, setting boundaries around control issues, or planning small changes to reduce caregiver stress. She also helps people work through guilt, shame, and isolation so they can make clearer decisions about relationships and work.
Sessions are offered in both English and Spanish and reflect her bicultural background. She aims to make dialogue straightforward and understandable rather than full of jargon. Silvia encourages people to bring specific examples from home so they can test new ways of relating in real life.
People who choose her often want help managing family responsibilities and blending households without taking sides. She asks clients to describe current routines and problem moments so together they can try practical, repeatable changes. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Silvia draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing interaction patterns and building clearer communication. One approach helps people identify and shift unhelpful relationship behaviors so arguments and misunderstandings occur less often. Another approach looks at attachment concerns, helping people recognize triggers rooted in earlier relationships and practice different responses in current family life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Silvia will discuss your goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest a method that fits your situation. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the plan if needed so the work stays practical and relevant.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during the day, or remove travel time. It can also let a bilingual clinician conduct sessions in English or Spanish when that helps communication. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and homework to how you live day to day.
