Silvia Bibas

Silvia Bibas is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, and career concerns. She focuses on practical support for relationship strain, parenting challenges, and self-esteem issues. Silvia encourages clients to build on their own strengths and to take concrete steps toward change.

She works in a collaborative, straightforward way. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, doable steps. Silvia values listening and helping people name patterns that get in the way of their goals.

Silvia uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She may draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to reframe unhelpful thoughts. She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the client’s perspective. Mindfulness and narrative tools are available for people who want to learn new ways to notice feelings and rewrite unhelpful stories.

Over 20 years of practice in Florida have given her experience with a wide range of concerns including grief, trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, multicultural and immigration issues, and career transitions. She also supports people coping with aging, blended family dynamics, cancer, and caregiver compassion fatigue.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To begin, use the Start Therapy button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session based on therapist availability.

How Silvia’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first. Silvia listens for what matters to the client and follows their lead, helping people clarify next steps and act on them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical tools to change thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and work-related stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and intimacy.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Silvia will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between errands. It can also offer shorter check-ins when a quick weekly touchpoint helps maintain progress. Licensed professionals tailor their use of CBT, client-centered work, and EFT to the online setting so the focus stays on clear goals and usable skills.
