About Marie
Marie Silva is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 24 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and self-esteem struggles. She aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people who feel overwhelmed by life changes.
Her approach starts by listening to each person’s story and identifying their strengths. Sessions prioritize clear, usable skills drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to help people recognize and name their feelings when relationships or loss are involved.
Background and approach
Marie emphasizes collaboration and respect. She works at a steady, supportive pace and helps people set small, achievable goals. That can mean learning new ways to handle strong emotions, improving communication, or finding routines that reduce daily stress.
Over two decades in practice has given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including family problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to guilt or shame. She helps people who feel isolated or empty find ways to reconnect with what matters to them. Practical tools are paired with a client-centered stance.
Marie encourages honest conversation about what is and isn’t working, and she adjusts methods to match each person’s needs. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier feelings, and more confident next steps.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions that drive difficult interactions and internal distress. Online sessions can use EFT techniques to help people notice patterns, express needs more clearly, and reduce emotional isolation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and commit to values-based actions. In teletherapy ACT exercises often include brief experiential practices and clear homework to use between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance where the person’s own goals guide the work; that supportive relationship can be built effectively over video or phone.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Marie will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and circumstances. That might mean combining emotion-focused work with mindfulness practices, or using CBT-style skills for immediate coping while exploring longer-term patterns.
Online formats offer practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial cues and practice in-the-moment exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during brief breaks. Live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins, short coaching, and problem-solving between longer sessions. These options aim to make consistent work more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
