About Deva
Deva Roy is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 22 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem. Her practice also lists grief, life changes, and concerns such as guilt and shame among the topics she addresses.
She works from a belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Conversation and reflection help identify what gets in the way and what small changes might make a difference.
Deva uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen deeply and follow the client's lead. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or shame. Together these approaches aim to connect honest self-reflection with doable behavioral steps.
In sessions she helps people name difficult feelings, sort through relationship and family concerns, and plan responses to life transitions. She addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and struggles with self-love or isolation. Panic attacks and social anxiety are also areas she has supported over her career.
Her style is straightforward and focused on what clients want to change. People who come for help with guilt or shame work toward clearer thinking and practical skills for coping. To begin, clients follow the site's booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work in online sessions
Deva uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow what matters most to the client. That approach emphasizes understanding the person's own values and choices, which helps when guilt or shame feels tangled with identity or family expectations.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) methods to identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep anxiety or shame active. CBT provides concrete techniques such as testing negative thoughts and practicing different responses, which can be helpful for panic, social anxiety, and persistent self-criticism.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt as progress is made. The emphasis is on practical steps the client can try between sessions and reviewing what helped.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to check in without traveling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or use of exercises and worksheets sent between meetings to support practice outside sessions.
