Caitlin Weber

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi I'm Caitlin, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work solely with women (ages 18-35) in my practice. Are you navigating low-acuity anxiety, stress, life transitions, adjustments, and general women's wellness? This might be the place for you.

Therapy is a wellness journey—an intentional act of self-care rooted in holistic health. My style is nonjudgmental, authentic, and grounded in self-compassion. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe to be fully themselves while feeling supported to grow. I model what I encourage in my clients: progress, not perfection. My approach is collaborative, honest, and focused on real-life application. Wellness is meant to be lived.

I joyfully integrate Ecotherapy into my work, as walk-and-talk sessions can offer meaningful benefits, including bilateral stimulation that supports emotional and cognitive processing. I often take Telehealth sessions outdoors while walking and invite clients who are interested and physically able to do the same virtually.

If you’re seeking to reconnect with your authentic self, exhale, and support your overall well-being, this may be the right space for you. I invite clients to come exactly as they are and honor the growth that unfolds throughout the therapeutic journey. Clients who commit to consistency often experience the most meaningful progress. At times, therapy may feel harder before it feels better—this is a natural and important part of healing. As emotions surface and insight deepens, lasting change begins to take shape.

My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you. I collaborate, support, and integrate wellness coaching and faith integration, when desired, to help foster autonomy, resilience, and personal growth. At the core of my work is creating a supportive space where clients can embrace who they are and move toward meaningful change with self-compassion.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


I believe therapy and psychiatric care should feel human, not clinical, rushed, or impersonal. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported from the very first conversation. I take time to understand your story, your values, and what you want your life to look like, not just your symptoms.

I bring over a decade of experience working in mental health and addiction, and I use a balanced approach that blends evidence-based treatment with compassion and real connection. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all care. Your treatment is collaborative, flexible, and designed to support long-term growth, not just short-term relief.

Above all, you should know that you will not be treated like a diagnosis. You will be treated like a person.

Psychologist

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked with hundreds of clients—working across the globe with the armed forces and incarcerated individuals facing severe trauma, to couples, families, and creatives looking to thrive, not just survive. My approach is grounded, evidence-based, and tailored to the complexity of your lived experience.

I’m trained in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Gottman Method couples therapy, allowing me to address everything from PTSD and relational conflict to performance blocks and emotional regulation. As a biracial therapist, I bring a culturally attuned lens to every session and hold space for identity, intersectionality, and healing.

In addition to my clinical work, I’m also a certified yoga instructor and sound healer, and have been featured in national outlets like The Washington Post, MSNBC, and USA Today.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, rebuilding relationships, or striving for personal growth, I offer a space that is compassionate, direct, and built on deep experience.”
