About Silvia

Silvia Bibas is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with two decades of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She has worked with concerns such as stress and anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, parenting struggles, self-esteem and motivation, career difficulties, trauma and grief, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to identity and discrimination. Her practice also encompasses areas like postpartum depression, blended family dynamics, immigration-related stress, and caregiving or aging concerns.

Silvia blends practical strategies with a respectful, client-centered stance that values each person as the expert on their own life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with emotionally-focused and narrative approaches, and incorporates mindfulness and solution-focused elements to help clients develop coping skills, reframe unhelpful patterns, and strengthen meaningful connections.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, she aims to collaborate with clients to set clear goals and take tangible steps toward improved well-being. To begin, she invites prospective clients to take a first step toward change and offers guidance throughout the therapeutic process.

Approach-focused online care with practical tools

Silvia often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. CBT emphasizes identifying and shifting thought and behavior patterns that contribute to distress and can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Client-centered work centers the client's experience, using empathy and collaboration to explore values, strengths, and goals and is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. Silvia will work together with each person to consider their goals, preferences, and how different methods feel in practice, adapting techniques over time to fit what is most helpful for the client.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide greater flexibility for scheduling and access. These formats allow clients to engage in therapy from their own environments, choose shorter or more conversational check-ins when useful, and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
