About Silvia
Silvia Escobar is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in California. She brings three years of clinical experience and works with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship strain, trauma, and low self-esteem. Silvia speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy feel straightforward and manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Before becoming a clinician she wanted to help people feel better about themselves and their circumstances.
Background and approach
She uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help clients notice patterns, try new ways of coping, and make small changes that add up. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on steps the client can take between meetings. Silvia adapts her style to each person.
She keeps conversations calm and direct and emphasizes listening without judgment. She helps people work through communication problems, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues by breaking problems into workable pieces. She also supports people navigating life purpose, divorce and separation, postpartum depression, social anxiety, and issues common to young adults and women.
Silvia works collaboratively to set goals and build skills that fit each person’s life and pace. Therapy is offered through live video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. The format can be chosen to match what feels most comfortable and practical for the client.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Silvia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it focuses on concrete habits and small experiments clients can try between sessions.She also uses Solution Focused Brief Therapy which concentrates on current strengths and practical steps forward. This method helps when someone wants clear goals and short-term progress. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she draws on to help people find their own reasons for change and build motivation at a comfortable pace.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Silvia will discuss these options with each person and tailor the plan based on goals, preferences, and what works in real life. The fit can change over time and will be reviewed as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity between appointments.
