About Paul
Paul Weaver is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who helps people manage relationship struggles and emotional pain. He welcomes conversations about connection, intimacy, and the stresses that come with life changes.
Background and approach
His style is straightforward and focused on real problems people bring to sessions. He draws on nine years of clinical experience, including work in independent practice.
That background includes supporting people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and grief. He also addresses concerns like communication breakdowns, commitment worries, body image, and blended family issues.
In sessions he aims to create a calm space where clients can say what matters to them. He uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes listening and understanding.
From there he blends approaches that suit each person’s needs rather than relying on one fixed method. Paul uses emotionally focused ideas to look at how feelings shape relationship patterns.
He also uses attachment-based and cognitive tools to help people notice unhelpful habits and try different ways of relating. The work often focuses on changing small behaviors and improving connection.
Clients can expect collaborative goal setting and practical steps between meetings. Paul helps people find clearer communication, greater emotional safety, and ways to cope when life feels overwhelming.
He sees clients in Florida and offers sessions in English, including options for international clients.
How Paul’s Approaches Work Online
Paul uses attachment-based and emotionally focused approaches to help people understand how early bonds and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Attachment-based work looks at patterns of connection and helps people try new ways of relating when old responses cause distance or anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying core emotions and reshaping interactions so partners or individuals feel heard and safer with one another.He also uses client-centered listening to make sure each session matches what the person needs in the moment. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process - the therapist and client work together to set goals and test methods that fit the client’s life and preferences. Online formats make this collaboration easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls are useful for richer nonverbal work and relationship sessions, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can serve as brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people stay consistent with therapy, manage transitions, and practice new ways of relating in everyday settings.
