About Paul

Paul Weaver is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He helps people who are struggling with relationship strain, addiction, anxiety, depression, and life changes. He works with individuals and couples to reduce distress and find clearer ways forward.

He practices in a client-centered way and draws on emotionally-focused work to help people identify what matters in their relationships. Sessions focus on listening, naming feelings, and finding small changes that shift patterns. Paul aims to create a calm space where needs and desires can be spoken about and responded to.

Paul has nine years of overall clinical experience and about five years in private practice. That background includes supporting people with trauma, PTSD, sexuality and intimacy concerns, and addiction recovery. He also addresses parenting, blended family issues, and fatherhood concerns as part of relationship work.

In session he uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside attachment-based ideas and existential questions about meaning. Conversations are straightforward and focused on real-world steps clients can try between meetings. Paul emphasizes collaboration so goals stay realistic and tied to each person's life.

People come to him for help with grief, stress, sleeping or eating difficulties, codependency, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. He accepts international clients and conducts therapy in English. To begin, clients follow the site's matching and scheduling process.

How Paul Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online

Paul uses attachment-based ideas to help people see how early bonds shape current relationships. This approach looks at how patterns of closeness and distance show up, and it helps clients try different ways of responding in relationships.

He also uses elements of emotionally-focused therapy to name emotions and unmet needs in the moment. That work aims to shift how partners or individuals respond to one another so interactions become more connected rather than reactive.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Paul will work with each person or couple to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. He treats this as a collaboration and checks in regularly about what is and isn’t working.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make scheduling easier, fit into a busy day, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy going when travel or work makes in-person meetings difficult.
