About Sylvia
Sylvia blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Client-Centered Therapy to create a collaborative, goal-focused process that also honors the client’s own perspective. In CBT she partners with clients to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while her Client-Centered stance emphasizes listening, empathy, and allowing the client to lead the pace and focus of sessions. Her LPC credential indicates she is a licensed mental health professional qualified to provide counseling services in Texas.
In session Sylvia aims to cultivate a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients feel heard and empowered to make changes that matter to them. She emphasizes meeting clients where they are, supporting their autonomy, and guiding them step by step as they pursue personal growth and healing. Sylvia welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and is committed to walking alongside clients as they work toward their goals.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Sylvia uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where the client’s experience guides the pace and focus of work - this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and validating where someone is starting from, which can be helpful for stress, grief, and life transitions. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and problems with coping. Additionally, Sylvia draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when clients need practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Sylvia works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she tailors techniques so they fit the client’s situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. This means clients and therapist decide together which strategies to prioritize.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people access care. Sylvia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, mobility needs, and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to practice skills in real time between sessions with a licensed professional guiding the work.
