Debbie Silva, LPC

Debbie Silva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She is a military veteran and meets people where they are. Her focus is on listening, building trust, and helping clients tell their story so they can move forward.

She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals at the center of each session. That means the work follows the client’s pace and priorities rather than a fixed agenda. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with stress, anxiety, sleep, and managing strong emotions.

Narrative approaches are also part of her toolbox, helping people reframe difficult experiences and see options for change. She has experience addressing trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and caregiving stress. She also helps with issues like body image, attachment and abandonment, and coping with life changes.

Debbie has provided both individual and group services and has worked in person and via telehealth. Her background as a veteran informs her perspective, though she treats each person as an individual with their own story. She emphasizes collaboration and respects that clients are the experts on their own lives.

People who choose her can expect straightforward, compassionate care aimed at practical change. She asks new clients to share where they are and what they want to accomplish, then shapes sessions to support those goals.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy places your goals at the center of each session. The therapist listens closely and adapts the pace and focus to what matters most to you, whether that is managing stress, coping after loss, or addressing relationship concerns.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple, practical exercises to calm the body and mind. Those techniques are helpful for anxiety, sleep problems, and staying grounded during difficult moments.

Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their experiences. Changing how a story is told can open new possibilities and reduce the power of past events over current choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. Expect to try different techniques and give feedback about what helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as squeezing a meeting into a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits your needs. Because specific session formats are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and delivered.
