About Stephanie
Stephanie Silva is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and grief. She is based in Florida and offers services in English, including to international clients. Her style is warm and interactive, aimed at making hard conversations easier to manage.
Stephanie draws from several practical approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to help with emotional regulation and acceptance and commitment therapy to clarify values and guide meaningful action. Her background includes roles such as deployment case manager and emergency room social worker. That experience helped her learn how to handle crisis moments and coordinate with other agencies when people need extra support.
It also shaped her focus on clear, manageable steps rather than one-size-fits-all plans. Sessions with Stephanie are collaborative. She helps people set realistic goals and practices skills during and between meetings.
People who want practical strategies for coping, improving communication, or addressing life changes often find this approach helpful. Stephanie offers multiple ways to connect, including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She describes beginning therapy as a process and guides each person through matching goals to techniques.
Her aim is to help people move forward with clarity and steady support.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work and coping skills
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take steps in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes where values-based choices matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that increase distress and practicing different behaviors to change outcomes. This is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication, which can be valuable for intense mood swings or relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Stephanie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. The process is collaborative and can shift as needs change, with an emphasis on practical strategies and measurable steps.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face interaction, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief reflections, coaching between sessions, or ongoing skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between meetings.
