01About Ava
Ava Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 26 years of experience in clinical settings across Texas. She brings a calm, practical presence to sessions and focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship strain, and life transitions. Her approach emphasizes clear steps and steady support so people know what to expect each week.
Before moving into independent practice, she spent years in mental health agencies and a psychiatric hospital, and she also taught special education in public schools.
Background and approach
That mix of settings gives her a rounded view of how problems show up at home, at work, and in medical systems. In therapy she aims to be interactive and solution-focused. She helps clients identify small, doable changes and practices to try between sessions.
Conversations often include practical feedback, behavioral tasks, and ways to shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She draws on several approaches to match a person’s needs, including client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness. Sessions move at a pace the client chooses and focus on strengthening existing coping skills while learning new ones.
People who reach out can expect straightforward communication and an emphasis on usable tools. The work is collaborative: goals are set together and adjusted as life changes. This makes the process approachable for someone juggling parenting, work, or other daily demands.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Ava uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy among other methods. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and mood conditions by breaking problems into manageable steps. Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills; it can be useful for people dealing with intense emotions, relationship strain, or recurring crises.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit a person’s goals and preferences. Clients and therapist collaborate on goals, check what is helping, and adjust the plan over time so the approach stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for a full conversational session and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera isn’t preferred. Live chat or text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or quick check-ups between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
