Marie Silva, LCSW

Marie Silva is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas with 24 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She draws on a range of proven approaches to help clients strengthen self-esteem, cope with loss, and navigate relationship and family challenges while recognizing each person as the expert of their own story.

Marie emphasizes practical, strengths-based work that honors clients abilities and resources. She offers compassionate guidance for parenting concerns, communication problems, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and challenges like guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Her practice also addresses mood disorders, compassion fatigue, and issues that arise from family of origin dynamics and infidelity.

Believing that reaching out for support takes courage, Marie focuses on empowering clients to make meaningful changes at their own pace. She collaborates with each person to identify goals, build coping strategies, and apply tools that fit everyday life, helping clients move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life while honoring their values and priorities.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps clients clarify personal values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions by focusing on committed steps that reflect what matters most.)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT uses practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is effective for managing anxiety, depression, and mood-related difficulties by building skills for coping and problem solving.)

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports self-directed growth. This style can help with self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and family issues by validating experience and strengthening personal insight.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie Silva will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to reflect what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can access support from home, work, or while managing busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapeutic work into everyday life with greater convenience and accessibility.
