Silvia Bibas, LMHC

Silvia Bibas is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience supporting people through life’s shifts. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to relieve stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship strain. Silvia speaks English and Spanish and works with adults across a wide range of concerns, including parenting, grief, career challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Her approach centers on the client’s story and strengths. Silvia uses client-centered listening to understand each person's goals before offering tools tailored to their needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thought patterns and from emotionally focused methods to improve connection in relationships.

Sessions often include short, clear practices to manage stress and build confidence. Mindfulness skills are offered to help people stay grounded when emotions run high. Narrative methods are used to reframe difficult experiences and find new ways to move forward.

Silvia has substantial experience helping people cope with major life transitions and with additional focus on aging and geriatric issues. She also addresses blended family dynamics, migration-related stress, postpartum depression, and the effects of discrimination and trauma.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals before suggesting steps. Online sessions using this approach tend to start with the client describing what matters most, and the therapist follows that lead to shape next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior. In an online format those skills can include brief homework, thought records, and short behavioral experiments that fit into daily routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and shift the emotional patterns that affect relationships. When done online, sessions can still use guided conversations and exercises that improve how people communicate and connect.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Silvia will work with clients to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process often begins with a few sessions to try techniques and settle on a plan together.

Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter quick-check meetings when needed, and reduce travel time so people can keep consistent appointments.
