About Steven

Steven Weber is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 18 years of experience. He helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship or intimacy concerns, and struggles with life purpose. He also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, anger, and career questions. Steven frames therapy as a conversation that can open new ways of seeing one’s life.

He approaches work in a straightforward, conversational way. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now and finding practical paths forward. He blends client-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral and emotionally-focused approaches when they fit the problem. He also draws on existential and Jungian ideas, including interpretive dreamwork and the Enneagram, to deepen self-understanding.

Steven commonly helps people navigate major life changes and caregiver stress, and he pays attention to issues that arise with aging and geriatric concerns. He will talk through communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. The goal is to reduce distress and increase day-to-day functioning.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative - the therapist and client decide together what to focus on and which methods to try. Steven emphasizes practical steps people can use between appointments, along with gentle reflection in session. His style is patient, grounded, and aimed at real change.

He works in California and conducts therapy in English. To begin, prospective clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. The aim is to build a respectful working relationship and help people talk through what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behavior to identify patterns that keep problems in place and then practices concrete skills to change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and express underlying emotions to improve connection and reduce distress in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steven will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so sessions reflect what is helpful in practice rather than a fixed plan.

Because session formats are not specified in the therapist’s biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a tight schedule, and let people join from different locations when needed. Licensed professionals use these formats to offer continuity of care and flexible scheduling, while discussing practical considerations like session length and how often to meet.
