About Paul
Paul Weaver is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. He focuses on relationship and emotional struggles people bring into therapy. Paul talks plainly and meets people where they are so they can begin to feel understood and take practical steps forward.
He has nine years of experience and has worked in independent practice. That background includes help with anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. He also supports people with intimacy and sexuality concerns, grief, parenting stress, work strain, and the ripple effects of family problems.
Background and approach
Paul combines a client-centered stance with emotionally-focused and attachment-aware ideas. In sessions he listens for patterns in relationships and helps people name feelings and needs. That often leads to clearer communication, stronger boundaries, and actions that reduce persistent conflict or distress.
He also draws on cognitive behavioral tools when useful to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Narrative ideas are part of his work too, helping people reframe difficult stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. The approach is practical and conversational rather than formal or scripted.
Paul works with individuals and couples who want to repair connection, manage strong emotions, or navigate big life changes. He accepts clients across state lines and offers several online formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

Approaches and Online Options for Relationship Work
Paul blends Narrative, Attachment-Based, and Client-Centered ideas into online work. Narrative approaches help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and relationships and rewrite unhelpful narratives. Attachment-Based work looks at how early patterns affect current connections and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own solutions to difficult problems.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Paul will talk with each person or couple about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve, then shape the work together. That collaborative planning can include trying different techniques and seeing what fits best over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit varied schedules. Video works well for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions or brief check-ins during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel demands while keeping the focus on relationship change and emotional repair.
