Marie Silva, LCSW - Therapist in Texas

About Marie

Marie Silva is a licensed social worker in Texas who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so parents and caregivers can talk through what feels overwhelming. Her approach starts with respect for each person's story and the strengths they already have.

She draws on 24 years of experience as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - to support people facing life transitions and emotional pain.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build practical tools for everyday challenges. That can mean working on communication, managing worry, or finding ways to cope after loss. Her style blends helpful techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness and acceptance strategies.

She also uses client-centered and emotionally focused ideas to keep the work grounded in what matters most to the client. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Marie talks through real-life steps clients can try between meetings.

She helps set small goals and notices what works. Over time that can reduce isolation, ease guilt and shame, and improve family interactions. People who choose her often want clear guidance plus a steady, respectful presence.

She aims to empower each person to make changes that fit their life and values.

Online approaches that fit busy family lives

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and take steps that match their values. It can help when stress, emptiness, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches simple skills to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for worry, low motivation, and mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and shifting emotional responses to improve closeness and communication in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. She adjusts methods as progress unfolds so sessions feel practical and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and caregivers. Video calls let people see facial cues and practice communication in real time. Phone sessions provide an alternative when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family schedules and other responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
