About Silvia

Silvia Escobar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and related struggles such as self-esteem and life purpose. Silvia works with adults who are facing transitions, feeling stuck, or questioning what comes next in work or personal life.

She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people name patterns that cause distress. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, trying small changes, and tracking what helps. Silvia blends practical tools with conversation so clients can test new ways of coping between meetings.

Silvia commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors. She also uses Solution Focused Brief Therapy to set short-term goals and Motivational Interviewing to explore ambivalence about change. These approaches are aimed at managing symptoms and clarifying next steps rather than offering quick fixes.

She is bilingual in English and Spanish, and works with adults in California. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions are provided through a subscription plan that can be canceled at any time.

How Silvia’s approaches translate to online sessions

Silvia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by making problems more manageable and tracking what works.

She also uses Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which centers on clear, short-term goals and practical steps toward them. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she applies to explore mixed feelings about change and to build internal motivation for next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Silvia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change over time as priorities shift.

The original biography does not list which session formats are offered online, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. They can also let someone choose a quieter setting or skip video when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work well in virtual sessions.
