About Paul
Paul Weaver is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with nine years of clinical experience based in Florida. He works with adults facing relationship and emotional difficulties, including anxiety, depression, intimacy concerns, addiction, and family of origin issues. He also addresses parenting challenges, stress, grief, and challenges related to sexual expression and kink culture.
Paul practices from a client-centered perspective and uses emotionally-focused methods alongside attachment and cognitive approaches. In sessions he listens for recurring patterns that link current struggles to earlier relationships and family roles. He helps people name those patterns and try different ways of relating.
Many sessions focus on relationship dynamics - how people communicate, make commitments, and cope with separation or blended family stress. He also supports people dealing with abandonment feelings, body image concerns, codependency, and first responder stress. Paul treats intimacy and sexuality issues directly, including work with BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture topics.
His practical work includes helping clients develop clearer communication, manage anxiety and depressive symptoms, and create steadier routines for sleep and eating. Paul uses CBT techniques alongside emotion-focused interventions to surface and shift unhelpful thoughts and feelings.
People who choose him can expect a straightforward, listening-first approach. He aims to help clients recognize where family patterns still affect choices now, and to test new ways of responding in everyday life.
How his approaches translate to online care
Paul draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current bonds. This approach helps people who notice repeated patterns in closeness, abandonment fears, or trust. It focuses on emotions and connection so clients can try different ways of relating in real time.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy which centers the person’s own goals and perspective. Sessions focus on listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can steer the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes, such as sleep routines or coping skills for anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Paul will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can shift as progress is made and new issues appear.
