Steven Weber

Steven Weber is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. He practices in California and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Steven offers a calm, conversational style that makes it easy to bring up difficult topics and notice what matters most to you.

He uses a mix of approaches based on what each person needs. That can include Client-Centered work that focuses on listening and empathy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. He also draws on Existential and Jungian perspectives when exploring meaning, dreams, and deeper questions about purpose.

Sessions are aimed at practical change as well as self-understanding. Steven talks with clients about concrete steps they can try between meetings. He also pays attention to feelings, personal stories, and symbolic material that can illuminate long-standing patterns.

Steven works with a wide range of issues such as addictions, grief, career concerns, caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, and men's issues. He mentions experience with aging and geriatric questions and with separation or divorce-related concerns.

His approach is collaborative and paced to the person sitting in the room. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. It offers a space where a person can share difficult thoughts and feelings and be heard without judgment. This approach is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, and relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify patterns that keep problems going and introduces practical exercises to change them, useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and the emotional responses that keep those patterns in place. It can help people who want different ways of connecting or who struggle with intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Steven will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time as clients try ideas and report back on what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can offer much of the same conversational and skills-based work through remote sessions, while tailoring pacing and homework to everyday life.
