Marie Silva

Marie Silva is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and feelings of emptiness. She works with individuals struggling with self-esteem, motivation, parenting pressures, and isolation. Her tone is supportive and straightforward, aiming to make the first step feel manageable for someone worried and unsure.

She believes people are experts in their own lives and that their strengths matter. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps, noticing what gets in the way, and building small, sustainable changes. Marie encourages clients to name what matters to them and to try actions that match those values.

Marie brings 24 years of experience in Texas settings to her practice. That background includes helping people cope with relationship strain, communication problems, forgiveness, and family of origin issues. She also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, infidelity, and mood disorders.

Her approach mixes several methods to suit each person. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness to ground difficult emotions. Emotion-focused ideas help when relationship patterns and attachment issues are part of the concern.

Marie aims to make sessions understandable and useful. She supports people as they try new ways of responding to stress and life changes. If someone is unsure where to begin, she helps set simple, concrete goals and checks progress along the way.

How therapy approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. It can help with loneliness, low motivation, and moving through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions to reduce anxiety and depression by testing unhelpful beliefs and trying new behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It also lets people use tools like mindfulness exercises and in-the-moment behavioral practice during their regular routines, which can speed learning and make changes feel more natural.
