Debbie Silva, LPC

Debbie Silva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She speaks English and works with people facing stress and anxiety along with related concerns. She thanks people for taking the step to seek support and emphasizes meeting clients where they are in life.

She describes herself as a companion on the client’s journey, focusing on building a trusting connection and listening to each person’s story. Sessions aim to create a calm space to talk through what’s most pressing and to identify small, workable steps forward. The work is collaborative and paced to fit a person's readiness for change.

Debbie uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on mindfulness strategies to help manage overwhelming feelings and narrative practices to help people reframe painful events. These approaches are used to address trauma, depression, relationship struggles, grief, sleep problems, substance concerns, and parenting stress among other issues.

Her background includes both individual and group work and experience with people from a variety of life situations. As a military veteran, she brings experience with structured settings and transitions. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical coping ideas, and attention to the story they bring.

Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the person's lead, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, acceptance, and practical problem solving rather than a rigid plan.

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple attention and breathing practices to reduce distress in the moment. It can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by teaching manageable ways to notice and respond to strong emotions.

Narrative Therapy looks at the story a person tells about their life and helps separate themselves from the problem. This can be useful for reframing trauma, commitment or relationship issues, and worries that feel stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend elements from different approaches as needed.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to keep continuity of care through life changes. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for work between sessions to keep progress moving.
