About Paul

Paul Weaver is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and related concerns. He supports people dealing with career stress, parenting pressures, and difficult life changes.

Paul focuses on connection and emotional repair when relationships are under strain. He uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's experience central. He also draws on emotionally-focused ideas to look at patterns of interaction and feeling that keep people stuck.

In sessions he listens for how attachment and early relationships shape current responses. He helps people identify repeating patterns, the needs underneath strong reactions, and practical steps to shift interactions. He also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques when it fits the work, for example to address unhelpful thinking or avoidance behaviors.

Paul has worked in private practice and with a range of presenting problems, including PTSD, sexuality and intimacy concerns, and addiction. He aims to help clients find clearer communication, more predictable emotional responses, and steadier connection with others.

People who come to him often want straightforward guidance on repairing relationships, managing anger, or coping with loss and change. He encourages collaborative work that matches the method to the person’s goals and situation.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and current relationships shape emotional responses. Online or in-person, it helps people understand patterns like clinginess, withdrawal, or intense anger and how those patterns began.

Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's experience. The therapist listens without directing outcomes and helps clients name feelings, needs, and next steps. This approach supports people who want a steady, nonjudgmental presence while they sort through strong emotions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can be useful for managing anxiety, depressive thinking, and behaviors that fuel anger. CBT offers practical strategies to test and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust the plan as progress is made. That means approaches can be mixed depending on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats were not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into workdays, reduce travel time, or pick a quieter moment for a shorter check-in. Ask about session length and format when scheduling so the plan suits daily routines and practical needs.
