Silvia Bibas, LMHC

Silvia Bibas is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with two decades of professional experience. She focuses on relationship concerns along with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, parenting, and life transitions. Silvia aims to meet people where they are and support them through practical, day-to-day changes.

She works from the view that each person knows their story best. Sessions emphasize the client’s strengths and practical steps that build confidence. Silvia offers a calm, straightforward style and helps people name problems and try small experiments that can improve daily life.

In therapy she blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-focused ideas help with closeness and intimacy-related issues, while mindfulness and narrative work support coping with trauma, grief, and major change. This mix is used to match what the person needs in the moment.

Silvia has particular experience with relationship strain, blended family issues, postpartum depression, immigration and multicultural concerns, and caregiving stress. She also supports people facing grief, cancer-related distress, and work-related compassion fatigue. Her background includes long-term practice helping adults navigate both personal and family challenges.

How Silvia’s Approaches Can Work Online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps people feel heard and identify goals they want to try for, such as repairing a relationship or coping with stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to change unhelpful thinking and develop new habits, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns of connection and helps people notice and shift the ways they respond in close relationships. It can be useful for intimacy-related concerns and rebuilding trust.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Silvia collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time based on what is helping and what is not.
