About Patrick

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. He practices in South Carolina and has worked in clinical and addiction settings as well as via telehealth. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family issues, and anger.

Patrick draws on a person-centered way of working that keeps the client's concerns central. He mixes that with practical methods from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on clear skills, problem-solving, and steady planning rather than long theory talks.

He has experience across age groups and in military and faith-informed contexts. That background shows up as a straightforward approach to difficulties like substance use, grief, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. Patrick also provides clinical supervision for licensure candidates in Arizona.

In practice he emphasizes collaboration. People set goals and Patrick helps break them into manageable steps. He pays attention to communication patterns, impulse control, and coping strategies that can reduce outbursts and rebuild strained relationships.

For someone worried about snapping at loved ones or feeling overwhelmed at work, sessions aim to teach skills for handling strong emotions in the moment. Over time the work targets patterns that feed resentment, avoidance, or repeated conflict.

If you decide to proceed you complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and services use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people set their own goals. Online sessions using this approach emphasize clear check-ins, reflective listening, and collaborative goal-setting to address anger, relationship tension, or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In telehealth sessions DBT tools often include emotion regulation strategies, distress-tolerance techniques, and role-played communication practice to reduce reactive behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to make changes. Remotely this is used in short focused conversations that build motivation to reduce substance use, manage impulsive reactions, or follow through with behavioral goals.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, concerns, and preferences. That conversation often takes place in the first few sessions and can be adjusted over time.

Specific session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule around work and caregiving responsibilities.
