About Paul

Paul Weaver is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He helps people who are feeling stuck in relationships or struggling with life changes. He works with individuals and couples on issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, intimacy, addiction, and codependency.

He practices in a client-centered way that pays attention to each person's needs. Paul draws on emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas to look for connection and emotional safety. He also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques when practical steps and skill-building are helpful.

Paul has nine years of experience in the field, including five years in private practice. That background includes work with grief, parenting strain, blended family challenges, first responder stress, and concerns around sexuality and kink culture. He focuses on helping people find stability and clearer direction during hard transitions.

In sessions he aims to create a space where needs and desires can be heard. Conversations often move between understanding patterns and practicing new ways of relating. He helps clients set concrete goals and try small changes that fit into daily life.

People who choose him typically want a therapist who listens closely and works collaboratively. Those who value an approach that balances emotional connection with practical tools may find his way of working helpful for moving forward.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how people connect and respond in relationships; online sessions let clients reflect on patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience, which can be carried out through conversation and reflective feedback over video or phone. Cognitive-behavioral techniques offer concrete tools and short exercises that can be assigned between sessions and reviewed remotely.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Paul will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he will adjust plans as progress and needs change. The aim is to match emotional exploration with practical steps that feel doable.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports practicing new skills in everyday settings and following up on homework between sessions.
