About Debbie
Debbie Silva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addiction, and other life challenges. She has provided individual and group services in person and via telehealth and has experience with a range of issues that lead people to seek help.
Debbie focuses on listening to each person’s story and helping them name what matters most. Sessions are grounded in straightforward conversation and practical coping skills. She pays attention to how life events, relationships, and identity affect daily functioning and mood.
Her approach draws on client-centered work that centers the person’s perspective, mindfulness methods to calm attention in the moment, and narrative ideas that look at the stories people tell about themselves. In practice this looks like reflective listening, gentle skills practice, and reworking unhelpful self-narratives into clearer options.
People who struggle with avoidance, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, or the aftermath of loss or trauma may find this approach useful. Debbie also supports those dealing with sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, and the stress of parenting or blended family dynamics.
She emphasizes practical steps someone can try between sessions and checks in about what helps and what does not. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to the person’s current needs. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy centers the person’s perspective. Online sessions focus on listening carefully to what matters to you and using that as the basis for conversation and goals. This approach helps when life feels overwhelming or when you want clearer choices about next steps.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills you can practice between sessions. In telehealth meetings these are short, guided exercises to help notice thoughts and sensations without getting stuck. People often use them to manage stress, sleep trouble, and moments of intense anxiety.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories a person tells about themselves and their problems. Online work uses conversation and reflective exercises to separate the problem from the person and identify alternative narratives that fit better with a client’s values.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on goals, preferences, and how you respond in early sessions. That decision is revisited as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or travel. Others appreciate shorter check-ins or exercises that don’t require being on camera. Discuss practical needs with the therapist when scheduling so sessions can fit into daily life.
