About Silvestre
Silvestre Rubio is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals to help people regain a sense of control.
Rubio keeps sessions straightforward. He helps clients learn coping skills and behavioral tools that can be used right away. At the same time he pays attention to the deeper reasons behind patterns such as substance use, people-pleasing, or repeated relationship problems. That means working on immediate safety and stability while also looking for the roots of those behaviors.
He emphasizes building a trusting therapeutic relationship first. Rubio says the pace is set by the client, whether they want faster change or a slower exploration. He prioritizes concrete plans and measurable goals so progress is visible and understandable.
Rubio uses approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support change. In practice that looks like learning skills for anxiety, testing new ways of interacting in relationships, and using mindfulness to reduce reactivity.
People who come to him for substance concerns typically learn relapse-prevention skills early on. Then sessions turn toward unpacking why the substance use began and what keeps it going. Rubio aims to balance problem-solving with honest, steady work on underlying issues.
He works in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and services use a cancelable subscription model. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the service button.
How sessions work
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. Online sessions use that stance to let clients speak about what matters most while the counselor reflects and clarifies concerns. This helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship patterns, and codependency-related struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches practical skills to change them. In remote work this often means setting small behavioral experiments between sessions, practicing new responses, and reviewing what worked at the next meeting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and workplace stress.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase noticing. Online sessions can include guided practices and short home exercises to build awareness over time. These techniques pair well with CBT and help with sleeping, anger, and coping during stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit the person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That may mean trying a skill-focused stretch of sessions or shifting to deeper exploration as trust grows.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work, parenting, or other commitments.
