About Paul
Paul Weaver is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. He works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, depression, anxiety, and addiction. Paul supports clients dealing with grief, parenting stress, career pressure, and other life changes.
He sees individuals, couples, and families and focuses on restoring connection and emotional regulation. His approach is client-centered and informed by Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In sessions he listens for patterns that keep people stuck and looks for small, practical shifts that can ease tension in relationships.
Paul often brings attachment ideas into his work. He helps people identify unmet needs that underlie anger, withdrawal, or codependent behaviors. He also uses cognitive-behavioral techniques when clearer thinking and manageable behavior changes are helpful.
Topics he commonly addresses include abandonment, blended family issues, body image, commitment and communication problems, and struggles related to kink and alternative sex culture. He also works with first responder concerns and fatherhood issues when these affect relationships and daily functioning.
Sessions are conducted in English, and Paul accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How Paul uses EFT and related approaches online
Paul works from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people and couples notice and name the emotions beneath relationship patterns. EFT focuses on how emotions guide interactions and helps people create new ways to respond when those emotions flare.He also draws on attachment-based work to explore how early and current attachment needs affect trust and closeness, and on client-centered therapy to keep the client's own goals and experiences central. Attachment work is useful for fears of abandonment and insecure bonding, while client-centered methods help people feel listened to and understood during sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Paul will collaborate with each client to figure out which combination of EFT, attachment ideas, and client-centered practices fits their needs and goals. That decision will be guided by what the client wants to change and what feels workable in real life.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and keeping appointments that might otherwise be hard to attend. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to check in during a break at work, avoid travel time, or have a shorter follow-up conversation when needed.
