Silvia Rosenthal , LCSW

Silvia Rosenthal is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She supports concerns around relationships, parenting, career strain, LGBT issues, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese. Silvia uses a warm, empathetic style and aims to create a calm space for people to talk through what feels overwhelming. She listens without judgment and works alongside clients to identify practical steps they can try between sessions. Her approach focuses on clear goals and real-world strategies. She commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's values and strengths. Solution-Focused Therapy appears when sessions need short-term, goal-oriented planning. Silvia has ten years of experience working with stress, mood concerns, and family and relationship problems. That background informs her practical focus on what can change now, and what might need longer attention. She adapts sessions to each person’s pace and needs. Therapy is offered remotely through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that fit online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and values, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and gentle guidance to help people build on their strengths. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify what matters most and regain a sense of direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is practical and skills-based, often involving small experiments and homework between sessions to test what works.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and daily routines and then suggest how Client-Centered, CBT, or Solution-Focused techniques might fit. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more traditional conversations and longer sessions, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text allow quick check-ins, brief problem-solving, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to schedule work around busy lives and to keep steady progress without extra travel.
