About Silvia

Silvia Rosenthal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career stress, and issues related to self-esteem and identity. Silvia speaks English and Portuguese and practices from Florida.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first to understand what feels most urgent and then works together with each person to set clear, manageable goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps people can take between meetings to feel steadier. Silvia uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to test new behaviors. She also draws on client-centered principles to keep conversations grounded in each person’s values and priorities.

Solution-focused ideas are used to build on what’s already working and accelerate small wins. Over a decade of experience informs her work with life stressors such as parenting demands, career decisions, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses harder-to-name struggles like isolation, family of origin issues, and body image concerns.

People who come for therapy can expect straightforward guidance, clear homework when useful, and a focus on skills they can use day to day. Silvia aims to make therapy practical and approachable so people can regain a sense of control and hope.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist creates a welcoming space and follows the client’s pace, which helps when people need encouragement to name what matters and set goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It suits concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete skills people can practice between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths and quick steps toward change. It is useful when someone wants to build on what already works and see faster progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can shift over time as goals change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text allow quick check-ins or shorter exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving schedules.
