About Marie
LCSW in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience, Marie Silva helps people address stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting issues, and self-esteem concerns. She also focuses on compassion fatigue, communication problems, control issues, and mood disturbances. Sessions are offered in English. International clients are not accepted.
Marie works from the view that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to solve problems. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, acceptance-based work, emotionally focused ideas, and client-centered listening. The work often combines talking, skill practice, and reflection to tackle current problems.
In sessions she helps people identify thoughts and patterns that keep problems going. She guides simple behavioral steps to change routines that feed anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness and acceptance tools are used to reduce reactivity and increase willingness to try new actions.
When relationships are a concern she draws on emotionally focused ideas to map interaction cycles and improve communication. For grief and loss the focus is on normalizing feelings and finding ways to carry meaningful connections forward. Parenting and family stress are approached by helping parents set boundaries, improve communication, and manage overwhelm.
Marie describes the therapeutic relationship as collaborative. The first meetings typically gather background, clarify goals, and begin small, practical steps. The usual pace is steady and problem-focused, with attention to coping skills between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches you can expect in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It helps people clarify values and take small, practical steps toward what matters despite uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by practicing new ways of thinking and acting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, reflection, and responding to what the person brings. It is useful for building clarity and strengthening decision-making.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. That may mean trying an exercise or two and adjusting the plan based on what helps.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel time, making it easier to book shorter check-ins, and allowing therapy to happen during a break or after work. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so progress continues between appointments.
