About Silvia
Silvia Hernandez helps people who are exhausted by relationship strain, family conflict, or parenting stress. She speaks English and Spanish, and brings 33 years of social work experience to each meeting. Silvia is licensed as a clinical social worker in California and aims to meet people where they are.
She focuses on clear, practical steps people can use at home and in everyday life. Sessions often include talking through recent events, identifying patterns that cause pain, and trying small changes to improve communication and boundaries.
Background and approach
Silvia pays attention to issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, and problems that come from caregiving or isolation. Conversations will also address career stress, life transitions, body image, and feelings of guilt or shame when those come up. Silvia adapts the pace to each person and helps them build skills for coping with change.
She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work. Silvia says the first step can be the hardest, and she supports people through that beginning. Her approach is collaborative: she and the client set goals and check progress together.
Over time the focus may shift from problem-solving to strengthening what already works in a persons life. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and take place online using video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Silvia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes improving communication and solving concrete problems in relationships, helping people learn different ways to speak and listen so conflicts feel more manageable. Another method looks at attachment and abandonment patterns, tracing how early relationship experiences affect current fears and reactions, and then practicing new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and mistrust. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Silvia works collaboratively with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so work in sessions feels useful and relevant to daily life. Online therapy offers flexibility that many people need. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings, while phone sessions can be easier when video isn't comfortable or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or options for people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare, or other commitments.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
