About Ava

Ava Weaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 26 years of experience providing psychotherapy to a wide range of clients. She has worked with adults, adolescents, and families in community mental health settings and a psychiatric hospital - including positions at two regional MHMR agencies and the UTHealth Science Center Northeast. Before focusing full time on clinical work she taught special education in public school districts, bringing practical experience with diverse developmental and educational needs.

Her approach blends interactive, solution-focused work with trauma-informed methods. She holds training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and has completed Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) training through the Department of State Health Services, with her name listed in the state registry of certified CPT therapists. Ava emphasizes support and practical feedback to help clients identify challenges and develop effective coping strategies, tailoring interventions to each person's strengths and goals.

Her formal training includes a Master of Science in Counseling from Texas A&M, a Bachelor of Arts in Education from East Texas State University, and additional study at the Institute in Counselor Supervision at the University of North Texas. She also holds credentials as a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPCS) and as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and maintains certification related to CPT through veteran-focused training. With a collaborative, compassionate stance, she works to help clients pursue sustainable personal growth and healthier relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client as the expert on their own experience and prioritizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to explore values, build self-awareness, and work through relationship or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that examines patterns of thought and behavior to develop practical strategies for managing depression, anxiety, and stress-related problems. CBT is often used to set clear goals and practice new skills between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change techniques, teaching skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ava works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs and goals, adapting techniques over time so the work stays relevant and effective for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals can deliver the same therapeutic principles remotely, allowing clients to engage in consistent, goal-oriented work while maintaining convenience and continuity of care.
