About Debbie
Debbie Silva is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Debbie also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness or pain, and communication or control difficulties.
She has provided both individual and group services in person and by telehealth. Debbie pays attention to each person's story and listens for the places guilt or shame show up. She encourages straightforward conversation about what happened, what was felt, and what matters now.
In sessions she emphasizes a client-centered way of working. That means she follows the person's lead, reflects what she hears, and asks questions that help people notice patterns. Mindfulness tools are used to help settle strong emotions and reduce reactivity in the moment.
Narrative work is another part of her approach. Debbie helps people name dominant stories that keep them stuck and then look for alternative meanings or smaller details those stories miss. That can change how someone understands themselves and their choices.
Her clinical style aims to be practical and conversational. People can expect straightforward talk about goals, short-term strategies for managing difficult feelings, and space to revisit painful memories at a manageable pace. If a person wants to move forward, Debbie works with them to build steps that fit daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead, reflecting what is said, and clarifying goals. Online sessions can still use this approach by keeping the conversation direct and focused on the person's priorities in that moment.Mindfulness therapy offers simple practices for grounding and noticing body sensations and thoughts. These techniques can be taught and practiced during a telehealth visit to help reduce intensity and improve emotional regulation between sessions.
Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and the events they lived through. In remote sessions Debbie can listen to those stories, ask questions that reveal alternatives, and support rewriting parts of the narrative that feed guilt or shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Debbie collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts pace and tools based on what feels most useful in regular sessions.
The original biography indicates she has provided in-person and telehealth services, but specific current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use mindfulness practices together with verbal reflection without travel.
