Patrick Reynolds

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years in the field. He invites people who are ready to change and offers steady support as they take the first steps. His tone is straightforward and encouraging, aimed at helping people feel less alone while they work through difficult emotions and situations.

He draws from a person-centered foundation and uses a mix of practical methods to meet people where they are. Patrick has worked in mental health and addiction settings and has experience providing care through telehealth. His background includes clinical supervision for licensure candidates and time supporting service members, which contributes to a broad perspective on common struggles.

Typical concerns he addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and family issues, substance use, and challenges with self-esteem. He also supports people coping with grief, parenting strain, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Patrick combines direct talk with goal-focused techniques so sessions stay grounded and useful.

In sessions he aims to be collaborative and respectful. He listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are often part of that work, along with skills from dialectical behavior approaches when emotion regulation is needed.

People can expect a pragmatic, compassionate approach that focuses on practical steps forward. Patrick practices in South Carolina and offers services in English.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience first and emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting connection. Online sessions can focus on what matters most to the client and adapt pace and goals to fit each meeting.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In an online setting, DBT skills training and coaching-style conversations can help with anger, emotional reactivity, and stress regulation.

Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused way to boost readiness for change. It’s useful when someone is weighing options about substance use, behavior changes, or sticking with treatment, and works well in conversation-based online sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made and priorities shift.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school, or caregiving. It also allows for a quieter check-in, shorter phone-style conversations when needed, and flexible scheduling that helps therapy fit into everyday life.
