More about Stephen

- LCSW, LICSW
My name is Steve Weiss and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Arizona. As an experienced therapist with years in the field, I am committed to my clients' journey of recovery from whatever is challenging or interfering with their quality of life. My clinical specialties are couples and family therapy, as well as individual counseling for life issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, stress management, and relationship difficulties. I also work with addiction and personality disorders. My clinical philosophy is to start where my clients are at; I understand that changes are difficult and ultimately a choice. My approach is to empower clients to look at their strengths and challenges, and assist them in deciding what changes they wish to make. I am also comfortable in working with clients whose faith is an important part of their lives. I strive to always be transparent and "clinically humble", and understand that the client is the expert regarding his or her life. Finally, therapy for me starts with the therapeutic relationship which I work to develop with all my clients, so we can develop a supportive, therapeutic, treatment environment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Excellent Listener. Good sound feedback. Enjoy my sessions with Stephen.
I am very satisfied with my experience thus far with Stephen Weiss.
Better help has been the best therapy at affordable price I have and will continue to recommend
I have recently started working with Stephen Weiss. I can attest to his knowledge and commitment to help his clients grow. He made it clear that that’s what his intentions are. His intentions are to help his clients grow and get them to the point where they no longer need therapy. When he asked me my first set of self-focused questions, I immediately started to adopt new practices. It was as if he knew what to say or ask that would help me start building my foundation. I would recommend his help to anyone who is looking for real change. Fair warning; it does come with the price of reflecting on yourself and facing your own issues, problems, and secrets that you try to mask or hide from the world. That’s what I am learning so far, at least. Thanks Stephen
Stephen provides calm options for me when I feel I need some direction, I'm very satisfied with my experience and his expertise.
Great experience
Excellent therapist. He has brought me a long ways in a short period of time. My life has taken a 180 since seeing Stephen Weiss. And in only 2 or 3 monnths.
Stephen Weiss is very professional and very experienced. We only have had a few sessions so far, but I am very impressed so far. I would highly recommend him!
Very helpful
I like the direct questions and assessments, they make use of our therapy time more produtive.
Great Therapist. Will tell you like it is in order to help you. And we all need that sometimes. Asks a lot of questions which help you to think more fully about what you are going through. Uses helpful therapy aids/exercises to give you skills to solve problems on your own and understand yourself better.
Highly recommended Stephen to anyone seeking counseling.
I have seen two other counselors before Stephen (not on Better Help) and truly I have never had such a positive experience before. My previous counselors were focused on hearing about my feelings, and Stephen has helped me understand them. I have been struggling with depression and anxiety for two years, but I finally feel like I can breathe again. There's a huge change in how I see myself and how I have handled difficult situations. Stephen challenges me but also respects me and never makes me feel invalidated. I am thankful for him and the Better Help platform.
Stephen is a wonderful therapist. He listens and he understands it has been a pleasure to work with him.
Stephen is a great counselor and man. He listens thoroughly, asks the right questions, and gives great insight. He even gave me a few tools to use on a daily basis to overcome the emotion I am feeling in that moment. Definitely recommend!
To say Stephen Weiss is an excellent counselor would be an understatement! I am Very pleased with the progress I have made thanks to his program!
He is amazing helps me deal with my needs 10
Professional and kind
Fantastic Therapist
Steve is an amazing therapist because he is real with you. He doesn’t tell you what you want to hear. He works with you in your struggles and calls it as it is, saying what you need to hear even if it’s a tough pill to handle. I appreciate this greatly! He will definitely challenge you for the best! He’s tough and gentle at the same time. He’s extremely helpful.
Dr. Weiss is always there to listen and redirect any of my concerns . Always on time shows Care and support. I love he is amazing great to talk to .
Stephen Weiss is so wonderful to work with. Ive not been working with him that long but already he has helped so much. His knowledge and experience definitely shines through as he counsels me and above all he is gentle with me and is serious about helping me heal in a timely manner. I really appreciate his help and counsel and I recommend him to all.
I am so happy to have a therapist that honestly meets my needs and understands where I'm coming from, especially since we have backgrounds in similar work. He brings a new perspective that I haven't had since starting therapy and I extremely appreciate what he brings to the table every therapy session. I honestly feel like I go through the emotions that I need to in order to process what I've gone through. I start therapy, feeling super heavy and leave it. Feeling optimistic and confident. He provides me the support that I need. Even a 3:00 a.m. went on breaking down in the bathroom.
Steven is amazing I had 9 sessions with him. From where I was and where I am now is a complete 180. I successfully completed my goals of therapy thanks to him
Seriously the most down to earth, incredible listener and frank, stern, respectful, helpful, pull each part and help in segments. Not sure if that makes sense. I seriously have a better way of dealing with things. Because of Dr. Weiss able to break it down and peel apart each segment so I can comprehend what is happening in my life!! I have been able to bounce things off of him. The down to earth and objective help he has given me will take me to the rest of my most fortunate, awesome life that I have ahead of me.
Steven understands where I’m at with my problems, he has great so far
The man ks amazing. He has really helped me alot, me and my wife see a big change in myself since i started. I am very greatfull!
Stephen helps me to see where I’m improving and need to improve, and encourages me to allow myself to feel my emotions, rather than live in my head. Thank you!
Stephen is wonderful. Calm, collected, and addressed my concerns. I'm very happy to have been matched with him.
Stephen has been extremely knowledgeable in helping me to work through being 'emotionally stuck'. He listens to me and guides me so that I have been able to release uncomfortable memories and emotions. I would highly recommend him. Thank you so much Stephen.
I have never been in therapy before. Stephen Weiss Has helped me get thru one of the hardest things I have gone thru in my life. I feel very comfortable talking to him and trust his advice. I highly recommend Stephen and the BetterHelp therapy to all the people in need of mental health.
Stephen is great. He communicates well, presents a wealth of knowledge, and genuinely cares about his clients.
Stephen and I just started my journey, and already he has helped outline some goals for me, as well as she’d some light on how my thoughts and how they affect my reactions to others. I’ll appreciate his insight. He is kind, patient and observant. I’m looking forward to growing with guidance.
Steve is very effective on his follow up. I have not been able to schedule a meeting w me but he continually communicates w me on scheduling opportunities
Stephen is extremely knowledgeable and I definitely recommend him to anyone!
Stephen is phenomenal. He uses a disciplined, methodical approach to make and track true progress, and always helps me see the next step clearly.
Stephen Weiss is very professional
Stephen Weiss quickly identified my real issues and gave me insight as to my part in it. He also helped me understand why I and others responded the way we did so now I can learn to do things differently. I've talked to other counselors in the past and Stephen is definitely one of the better ones.
Thank you for helping me see other perspectives!
Stephen has been great since the first day we spoke. He has been nothing but helpful and has helped me progress through his knowledge and expertise. I am very grateful for Stephen and would recommend him without a doubt! Thank you Stephen I could not be doing this without you!
