Deva Roy , LPC

Deva Roy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 22 years of professional experience. As an LPC - a credential that signifies formal training and state licensure to provide counseling - she has worked extensively with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and the transitions life brings. She also focuses on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, self-love, and social anxiety.

Deva approaches therapy from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective, honoring the belief that each person is the expert of their own story. She pairs that collaborative stance with practical techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helpful, offering a blend of empathetic listening and skills-based tools to navigate thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Seeking change takes courage, and she frames the therapeutic relationship as one of support and empowerment aimed at helping people move toward a more fulfilling life.

Her work emphasizes respect for individual goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes, helping clients build confidence, increase motivation, and develop coping strategies suited to their circumstances and values.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Deva Roy combines client-centered therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor online sessions to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead, helps clarify goals, and builds on the individual's existing strengths, which can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life-purpose questions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. In practice this means learning practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and respond differently to stressors, which can support people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Deva works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and situation. That partnership guides the selection and pacing of techniques so therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy schedules and for those who prefer remote options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different locations while adapting session styles to what works best for the individual.
