About Stephanie
Stephanie Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship and family concerns. She helps with depression, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and challenges tied to life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in Florida and internationally. Stephanie blends straightforward listening with practical skills. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and make changes that matter. Her style is interactive and respectful, and she aims to keep sessions clear and focused on real problems. Her background includes many years in social work roles across different settings, giving her experience with trauma, domestic violence, caregiver stress, and hospice and end-of-life issues.
That experience informs how she talks about safety planning, coping, and navigating systems when needed. She pays attention to cultural and multicultural factors in treatment. In sessions she helps people set concrete goals and practice skills between meetings.
She uses problem-solving, emotion regulation techniques, and communication strategies depending on the issue. When needed she combines several approaches rather than relying on one method. Stephanie supports people who identify as LGBT, people exploring sexuality and kink, and those dealing with financial stress, blended family situations, or aging and caregiver concerns.
She also works with those coping with trauma, ADHD, and other ongoing challenges. Her aim is to guide, motivate, and help clients move toward manageable steps of change.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Stephanie commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people clarify personal values and take small steps toward them, which can help with stuck feelings and anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills to change behavior and mood, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative search makes it easier to pick strategies that fit daily life and feel doable.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can work well when lower bandwidth or not being on camera is preferable. Text or chat options are useful for brief check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing support between meetings. These choices make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel demands.
