About Paul

Paul Weaver is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing relationship and emotional challenges. He meets individuals and couples who are struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, intimacy, addiction, grief, and sleep problems. He also supports people dealing with parenting stress, career changes, and the ripple effects of trauma.

Paul describes his work as client-centered and rooted in emotionally focused ideas. He focuses on creating a calm place to talk so needs and feelings can be named. That helps people feel heard and start to make small changes that matter in day-to-day life.

In practice Paul looks for ways to restore connection and steadiness in relationships. He pays attention to patterns that keep people stuck, like avoidance, blaming, or old attachment wounds. Then he helps clients try different responses that can lower tension and invite more trust.

His background includes nine years of clinical experience and several years in private practice working with trauma, PTSD, sexuality and intimacy concerns, and addiction. Paul works from a few established approaches without insisting on a single method for everyone.

People who choose Paul often want practical tools and a direct but warm listener. He guides conversations so clients can test changes, notice what works, and build on small successes toward clearer goals.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early connection patterns shape current relationships. Online sessions can help people identify those patterns, notice how they show up now, and practice new ways of responding with a partner or on their own. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on being heard and respected; the therapist offers empathic listening and reflection so clients can find their own solutions and make changes that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and introduces simple skills to change unhelpful patterns and improve daily routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as progress is made. That collaborative process helps clients see what fits and what to keep working on.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quieter spot that suits them. Many find that regular remote sessions support consistent practice of new skills and smoother follow-through between meetings.
