Patrick Reynolds, LPC

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who invites people to make the first step toward change. He writes plainly about joining someone on the journey rather than telling them what to do. Patrick draws on two decades of clinical work to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns.

He uses a person-centered stance in sessions, which means the conversation starts with the client’s needs and goals. From there he adds practical tools drawn from approaches like dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing. Sessions focus on real-life problems such as parenting strain, sleep difficulties, anger, and relationship conflict.

Patrick has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in community and addiction settings as well as through telehealth. He also provides clinical supervision to licensure candidates in Arizona. That range of experience informs his flexible, down-to-earth style.

In the room he aims to be collaborative and straightforward. People can expect to talk through what’s happening, practice coping strategies, and set small steps toward change. He emphasizes being heard and building skills that fit everyday life.

Patrick holds a master’s degree in counseling from Liberty University and maintains licensure in Arizona, Tennessee, and South Carolina. He practices in South Carolina and conducts sessions in English. If a reader wants to begin, they can use the site Start Therapy process to match and schedule a session.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Patrick uses client-centered work and trauma-focused techniques in a straightforward way. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's goals at the center of sessions and is about listening closely and responding to what matters most. This helps when someone needs steady support to make clear steps forward.

He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, reducing self-harm urges, and improving relationships. DBT tools are practical and can be practiced between sessions to handle day-to-day stress. Motivational Interviewing is another approach he uses to help people find their own reasons for change and to build commitment to small, manageable goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one path up front. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the individual.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to attend regularly, check in between appointments, and practice skills in daily routines.
