About Stephanie
Stephanie Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and related life changes.
Stephanie draws on several practical methods to help people make changes. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify and shift patterns that cause distress. She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help clients clarify values and take steps toward them.
Her background includes military service and roles such as deployment case manager, emergency room social worker, and family advocacy social worker. Those roles involved working with people experiencing domestic violence, sexual assault, suicidal behavior, and substance-related concerns, as well as coordinating with community agencies and veterans services.
Sessions tend to be interactive and focused on concrete goals. She aims to work respectfully with each person and to design a plan that fits their needs. Expect conversations that identify immediate coping strategies alongside longer-term behavior changes.
People often seek her help for blended family issues, co-parenting stresses, caregiving strain, and communication problems. She also addresses sexuality, multicultural concerns, and end-of-life matters in individual work.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages identifying what matters most and taking small actions toward those values. Online work with ACT can help with life transitions, anxiety, and decisions about relationships by clarifying priorities and building steady habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviors that increase distress and testing small changes. In an online setting CBT often uses brief exercises, behavioral experiments, and homework between sessions to track progress on anxiety, depression, and stress. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration shapes session plans and the types of skills practiced. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make scheduling across time zones simpler. Discussing practical needs such as session length, camera use, and timing helps match therapy to everyday routines.Areas of expertise
