About Sylvia

Sylvia Chamberlain is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 30 years of clinical experience supporting individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of life challenges. She holds a B.A. in Theatre Arts from Humboldt State University, where she majored in dance and Native American Studies and graduated in 1982, and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, earned in 1989. Over the course of her career she has combined formal training with personal healing practices rooted in movement, yoga meditation, and studies in Native American philosophy and culture, approaches she credits with helping her work through early childhood trauma and informing her therapeutic perspective.

Sylvia integrates several therapeutic methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Somatic approaches, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness practices, Trauma-Focused work, and Attachment-Based Therapy to help clients identify patterns, process painful experiences, and develop practical coping skills. She has also supervised graduate trainees pursuing licensure as Marriage and Family Therapists through Antioch University from October 2020 through December 2021. Sylvia is responsive to client inquiries and checks messages several times a day, typically replying within 24 hours, and she welcomes the opportunity to support people seeking change, healing, and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating to others. It helps clients explore connection, trust, and emotional safety in relationships and can be useful for couples, families, and individuals who want to change long-standing interaction patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving by teaching strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-focused awareness and gentle self-observation. Simple mindfulness practices support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity, making it a helpful complement to other therapies for trauma, anxiety, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sylvia works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and tailors methods accordingly, adjusting techniques over time to best support each person’s progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - clients can participate by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations within the same region, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for engaging with licensed professionals and therapists.
