About Silver
Silver Barns is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, disconnected, or not like themselves. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family strain, grief, anger, and addictions. She also addresses codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and issues connected to substance use.
In session she listens and helps people name patterns that keep showing up. That can look like noticing people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or staying in roles that drain energy. She supports people who live around someone else’s drinking, moods, or crises and helps them set clearer personal boundaries. Conversations are practical and aimed at changing day-to-day ways of coping.
She has worked with trauma, including PTSD, and with people managing grief and major life changes. Silver also brings experience responding to anger, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She speaks directly about how substance use affects relationships and daily functioning.
Sessions are delivered through telehealth for clients in Texas. The approach is collaborative - she helps clients identify goals and steps they can try between sessions. Expect straightforward talk, problem-solving, and attention to patterns that keep problems cycling.
Her background includes five years of practice as an LPC in Texas. She offers services only in English and is not taking international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches for online sessions
Silver Barns practices using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. Cognitive-style approaches help people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety, shame, or people-pleasing and then try different ways of thinking and acting. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, and patterns linked to codependency.Trauma-focused approaches address how past hurt shows up now. Work in this area aims to reduce the intensity of trauma reactions and to rebuild daily routines and coping tools. For substance-related concerns she combines discussion about use and its relationship effects with practical strategies for managing triggers and communication.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is seen or new needs arise.
The profile lists telehealth across Texas but does not specify formats beyond that. Confirm current session options before booking so you know whether phone or video is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into commuting or work breaks, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt pacing and activities so sessions work with day-to-day life.
