About Paul
Paul Weaver is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people navigate relationship pain, anger, and life changes. He focuses on real concerns like communication breakdowns, intimacy strains, grief, and the stress that follows big transitions.

He uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals front and center. That means conversations start with what the client wants to change, and sessions move at a practical pace.

How his approaches work online and in session
Paul blends client-centered work with emotionally-focused and cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people untangle relationship pain and anger. Client-centered therapy means sessions begin with the client's goals and priorities; the therapist listens and reflects so people feel understood and can choose next steps. Emotionally-focused work helps clients identify underlying feelings and patterns that fuel conflict and disconnection, which can be useful for intimacy, attachment, and grief work.He also uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors in daily life. Together these approaches let people both feel seen and practice different responses to stress and anger. Finding the best mix is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals as therapy unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules and different communication styles. Video is useful for deeper conversations and relationship work, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a faster check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to match therapy to daily life and keep progress moving forward.
