About Silvia
Silvia Hernandez is a California licensed clinical social worker with 33 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a bicultural perspective to conversations. People come to her for help with relationship strain, parenting challenges, career questions, and major life transitions.
Silvia focuses on respectful, sensitive care. She adapts her approach to each person instead of using a one-size-fits-all method. In sessions she will listen closely, help clarify goals, and work with clients to plan practical next steps they can try between meetings.
Her background includes long experience addressing family and communication problems, blended family situations, and issues that follow divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, codependency, and caregiver stress. Conversations may cover difficult feelings like guilt, shame, and loneliness while finding ways to rebuild connection and purpose.
Silvia aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She tailors the pace and topics to what each person needs most. If you want someone who will speak Spanish or English and who understands cultural context, she brings both language skills and decades of practice.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Silvia works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on improving communication and relationship patterns. One common approach helps people identify interaction cycles that cause conflict and then practices new ways of responding. This method is useful for couples and family-related communication problems, blended family dynamics, and separation issues.Another useful approach targets attachment and abandonment concerns by exploring how past relationships shape current expectations. Sessions look at patterns of closeness and distance and build small experiments to try different ways of connecting and managing worry. This can help with codependency, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Silvia will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, history, and preferences. She tailors pacing and homework so the plan makes sense for daily life and short-term goals.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family schedules, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your needs.
