About Paul

Paul Weaver is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing relationship and family stress, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, depression, anxiety, and issues around parenting and blended households.

He commonly helps people dealing with grief, addiction, sexual and intimacy questions, and life transitions. He also works on attachment concerns, communication problems, codependency, and commitment issues. Blended family issues are included among the areas he addresses in his practice.

Paul describes a client-centered approach that draws on emotionally-focused methods. In practice that means he listens for how emotions and attachment shape relationships, then uses that understanding to guide conversations and decisions. Sessions aim to clarify feelings, improve communication, and identify steps people can try between meetings.

He also uses cognitive-behavioral tools when they fit a person’s goals. That can include noticing patterns of thought, managing anxiety, and testing new behaviors in everyday life. He frames therapy as collaborative work rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

Paul has worked in private practice and with a variety of presenting concerns over his career. He supports people who want to reduce distress, repair connection, or find practical ways to handle difficult changes. To begin, the site’s matching process and a first appointment are used to set goals and decide on the best next steps.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Paul uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions drive interactions and attachment-based ideas to trace patterns that affect relationships. Those approaches help when dealing with intimacy issues, grief, and connection problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of his toolkit and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and depression.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods if something is not helping. Expect a practical conversation about what to try between sessions and regular check-ins about progress and fit.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family life, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also require less bandwidth or do not need video, which can be helpful on busy days. Ask about the available session types when you schedule your first appointment.
