SW Portrait of Steven Weber

Steven Weber, LMFT

Supportive therapist for life and relationship struggles

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 dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and struggles around self-esteem or life purpose.

Background and approach

He also helps with grief, anger, career questions, addiction issues, and coaching for life transitions. He frames therapy as a conversation that can lead to subtle shifts or deeper change.

Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now, naming painful patterns, and finding practical ways to handle daily stressors. Steven draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs rather than using a single method for everyone.

Clients can expect a calm, open style that encourages honest reflection. He describes the therapy space as one where people can talk through hard feelings without judgment.

He emphasizes listening first, then offering ideas to try between sessions. Steven’s background includes long practice in California and work with issues common across adult life stages, including aging and caregiving stress.

He also attends to codependency, commitment and communication problems, infidelity, and concerns about meaning and purpose. In sessions he may blend client-centered work with cognitive-behavioral strategies and emotionally-focused ideas to address patterns in thinking and relating.

He also draws on existential and Jungian perspectives when exploring deeper identity and life-purpose questions. This mix is tailored to each person’s goals and situation.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy centers on listening and following the person’s lead, helping people feel understood and seen while they talk through problems and priorities. This approach is useful for emotional concerns, life transitions, and building a therapeutic relationship that guides the work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhealthy habits. Clients often receive short practices to use between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and work through underlying emotions that shape how they relate and respond. It can be especially helpful for addressing attachment, intimacy, and recurring relational patterns by naming and shifting feelings in the moment.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. Steven will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. He adjusts the mix of approaches as needs and progress become clearer over time.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you read facial expressions and have longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when you want to reflect in writing. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
