Hi! My name is Silvia and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).

I have worked with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and burnout to name a few.

Caitlin Weber

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello! My name is Caitlin and I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work with females ages 18-35 navigating anxiety, stress, and partners/spouses of military families/veterans, and first responders. Intake appointment is via video and appointments thereafter are in an audio format.

Therapy is a wellness journey—an intentional act of self-care rooted in holistic health. My style is nonjudgmental, and authentic. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe to be real and supported to grow. I model what I encourage: progress not perfection. I am collaborative, honest, and grounded in real-life application. Wellness is meant to be lived. You’ll often find me in athleisure (a nod to my sports background playing soccer) and inspired by nature for its grounding and restorative qualities. I integrate Ecotherapy as walk-and-talk sessions can offer bilateral stimulation that supports emotional and cognitive processing. Please note, Telehealth is in audio format. I take Telehealth calls outdoors while walking and invite clients who are physically able to do the same virtually. Both wellness enthusiasts and first time walkers are all welcome!

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. 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 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 to empower autonomy and resilience. At the core of my work is a belief in progress, not perfection, and a commitment to creating an authentic, supportive space where clients can be fully themselves and step into meaningful change with compassion.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California

Finding the right therapist in California starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, it helps to find a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation. California-licensed therapists include LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit to a session.

California is one of the most expensive states for mental health care, which makes using your insurance one of the most practical ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to confirm coverage and see an estimated session cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.

With providers available across Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and throughout the state, you can browse therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can review detailed bios, check real-time availability, and book directly.
