Silvia Bibas , LMHC

Silvia Bibas is a Florida-licensed LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) with 20 years of professional experience supporting people through life transitions, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, career challenges, and struggles with motivation and self-esteem. She approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and that existing strengths can guide meaningful change. Silvia combines practical tools with empathetic listening to help clients identify goals, build confidence, and overcome obstacles that stand in the way of a more fulfilling life.

Beginning therapy can take courage, and Silvia aims to create a welcoming, respectful space where clients feel seen and supported as they take that first step. She partners with individuals to clarify values, develop coping strategies, and explore patterns that affect relationships and well-being. Her work emphasizes collaboration, resilience, and gradual progress so clients can move toward greater satisfaction and balance in their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Silvia

Silvia integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy centers on the client’s perspective and strengths, helping individuals build self-awareness and confidence while making choices that align with their values. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress through gradual changes in thinking and action. Emotionally-focused therapy attends to emotional bonds and patterns in relationships, supporting couples and individuals in improving connection, communication, and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Silvia works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s situation and revisits the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort. These options make it easier to maintain regular meetings, access licensed professionals from wherever one is located within the therapist's service area, and continue consistent work toward personal and relational goals.
