About Paul
Paul Weaver is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Florida who focuses on relational and emotional challenges. He works with individuals, couples, and families facing issues such as relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and stress.
Background and approach
With nine years of clinical experience and an LMFT credential, he combines direct, practical tools with attention to emotional dynamics to help clients move through difficult transitions and reconnect with what matters. His practice emphasizes connection and emotional regulation, drawing on client-centered principles and emotionally focused work to create a space where needs and experiences can be explored.
He also integrates cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior and develop new skills for coping and decision making. Paul attends to family systems and attachment patterns when relevant, supporting clearer communication, boundaries, and healthier interactions.
Paul accepts international clients and offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He notes that therapy is not one-size-fits-all and partners with each person to tailor approaches that match their goals, whether that means stabilizing after trauma, improving intimacy, addressing addictions, or navigating life changes.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Relational Work
Paul draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, addictions, and stress-related issues. Attachment-based work is also part of his practice, focusing on how early and current relational patterns shape emotional responses and connection in close relationships. Client-centered methods guide the therapeutic stance, centering the client's experience and fostering empathy so that needs and goals are heard and explored.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. He works with clients to identify which methods fit their situation and adjusts strategies over time based on each person's goals, preferences, and responses to therapy. This collaborative stance helps clarify whether more skills-focused CBT, attachment-focused work, or a client-centered frame is most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy or complex schedules. These formats support ongoing work on communication, coping skills, grieving, and relationship patterns while allowing clients to connect from wherever they are located.
