About Paul
Paul Weaver is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing relationship and emotional struggles. He focuses on making it easier to name problems and take practical steps forward. He works with individuals and couples who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, or difficulties around intimacy and sexuality.
Paul uses a direct, respectful style that centers the person in front of him. Sessions aim to improve communication, manage strong emotions, and rebuild trust after hurtful events.
Background and approach
He also helps people sort through issues like codependency, commitment concerns, body image, and blended family stress. In practice he leans on attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work to identify patterns that keep people stuck. He pairs that with client-centered listening so people feel understood, and uses cognitive behavioral tools when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Paul has nine years of clinical experience and has worked in independent practice settings in Florida. His background includes supporting people through life changes, parenting strain, first responder stress, and recovery from addiction and trauma. He accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Paul aims to collaborate with each person to set clear goals and try approaches that match their values and day-to-day life.
How his approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice patterns that cause distance or anxiety. It is useful for commitment issues, abandonment worries, and repairing emotional disconnection.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on recognizing and reshaping strong emotional responses in relationships. It helps couples and individuals improve communication, deepen intimacy, and respond differently during conflict.
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and respect so clients can explore their feelings without judgement. This approach supports people who need a steady, accepting space to figure out next steps.
Paul treats approach selection as a joint effort. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then try approaches that match the client’s needs. Adjustments are made as progress is tracked so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Messaging and live chat are useful for brief updates, coaching-style support, or when fitting sessions into a busy day.
