Steven Weber, LMFT

Steven Weber is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience working in California. He focuses on common life challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and struggles with purpose. Steven aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

He uses practical, talk-based sessions where clients can name what matters and try new ways of coping. Steven blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build more useful habits. He also draws on emotionally-focused ideas and existential and Jungian perspectives when they fit a person's concerns.

Steven often helps people managing grief, caregiver stress, addiction concerns, anger, or career-related pressure. He supports those dealing with guilt, shame, codependency, infidelity, communication problems, and life transitions like divorce or aging. Sessions also address men’s issues, commitment worries, and questions about life purpose.

His style is direct but compassionate. He listens for what is getting in the way, offers clear feedback, and works with each person to set goals they can try between sessions. Therapy can include short-term focused work or longer exploration depending on the situation.

Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Steven combines practical tools with personal reflection to help people move forward at a pace that feels right for them.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting what a person is feeling, helping them feel heard and gain clarity about choices. This approach is useful for people wrestling with low self-esteem, life transitions, or emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It often includes practical exercises and homework, which can be reviewed and adjusted in follow-up sessions to address anxiety, depression, or stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying core emotions and the patterns they create in relationships. It can help people understand attachment needs, improve communication, and work through jealousy, infidelity, or intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging let people share updates or try short check-ins between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and allow therapy to fit into busy days or ongoing caregiving responsibilities.
