About Marie
Marie Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 24 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and family-related problems. She also addresses issues like low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
Marie centers sessions on what the person brings. She treats clients as the expert on their life and listens for strengths to build on. Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer choices rather than labels.
Her approach combines evidence-based methods and relational work. She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas help people notice what matters and take action toward chosen values.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy elements are used when relationships and emotional connections are central. Mindfulness practices are offered for reducing reactivity and improving moment-to-moment awareness. Sessions are conversational and often include simple exercises to try between meetings.
Marie has a long history supporting people through loss and major life transitions. She aims to help clients find clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and more workable ways to relate to others. Before booking, people should confirm current session formats and any logistical details they need to plan for.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Marie uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, values-based steps even when thoughts and feelings are difficult. ACT work often includes experiments and everyday actions clients can try between meetings to test what helps. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking patterns that intensify anxiety or low mood and to practice alternative responses that change behavior. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to strengthen awareness of physical and emotional reactions so responses become less automatic and more chosen.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client look at goals, preferences, and what feels useful. They may try different techniques across sessions and adjust the plan based on what the client notices and reports back.
Confirming exact session formats and logistics before booking is recommended. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Some people find phone or video sessions let them join from a quieter spot or step out during a lunch break. Ask about the specific formats offered so sessions fit into everyday life.
