About Patrick

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. He is licensed in Arizona and South Carolina and practices in South Carolina. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, trauma, parenting strain, and anger.

He uses a person-centered approach that keeps the client’s perspective central. Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person brings that day. He also draws on techniques from dialectical behavior work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to address practical problems and strong emotions.

Patrick has worked in mental health and addiction settings and has experience providing care through telehealth. His background includes clinical supervision for licensure candidates in Arizona and earlier work with military-involved clients. That range informs how he talks about coping, boundaries, and intense feelings without assuming one right way to proceed.

In sessions he helps people identify patterns that fuel anger and frustration. He practices skills for managing strong reactions, improving communication, and repairing relationship strain. He also assists with sleep and eating concerns that often worsen mood and impulse control.

People who come for help can expect a mix of skills practice and focused conversation. Patrick aims to help clients notice small changes that make daily life easier. He frames work as collaborative problem solving rather than one-sided advice.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Online sessions keep that conversational core while helping clients prioritize their concerns each week. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing emotions and distress, such as breathing, grounding, and interpersonal effectiveness exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Motivational interviewing concentrates on clarifying goals and resolving mixed feelings, useful for changes around anger, substance use, or habits. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to try approaches, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist has experience providing care through telehealth, but specific session formats were not listed in the biography. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people practice skills in the settings where they need them most. Licensed professionals often use digital work to review exercises, track progress, and support steady changes without requiring long travel time.
