About Debbie
Debbie Silva is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She has worked with people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family concerns. Her practice also includes areas such as blended family issues, parenting strain, grief, addiction, and self-esteem struggles.
Silva draws on client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s priorities and lived experience. She uses mindfulness techniques to teach grounding and stress skills. Narrative therapy is part of her work too, helping people name and reframe the stories they tell about themselves.
Her background includes work with varied populations and both individual and group services. She has provided care in person and by telehealth while serving in roles that include veteran-focused settings. That practical experience informs how she structures sessions and sets goals alongside each client.
In early sessions she listens to the facts of a person’s situation and what they want to change. Sessions typically move into noticing patterns, testing small changes, and practicing different responses. She encourages people to bring concrete examples from daily life so therapy stays relevant to everyday demands.
People looking for support around blending households will find a therapist who pays attention to loyalty conflicts, shifting routines, and co-parenting strain. She asks straightforward questions and works collaboratively to identify clear next steps, coping strategies, and ways to reduce repeated stressors.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and the choices they want to make. Online sessions using this approach start with what matters most to the client and set goals that fit everyday life. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices for grounding and stress reduction. In an online visit these skills can be practiced together and adapted for short check-ins or daily routines when stress spikes.Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. Online conversations can help identify recurring stories and try new ways of describing events so they have less power over decisions and behavior. Together these approaches support common concerns such as anxiety, coping with life changes, and blended household stress.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. She will help the client decide which approach or mix of approaches makes sense based on goals, current challenges, and personal preference. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.
The original biography notes experience with both in-person and telehealth work, but current session options should be confirmed before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Discuss with her what structure best fits your routine and communication needs before scheduling.
