About Patrick

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience. He greets people with a straightforward message: starting therapy is hard, and it also opens the door to change. He aims to walk alongside clients as they work through stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, and major life shifts.

Patrick uses a person-centered base in sessions. That means he focuses on the person's experience and priorities first. From there he draws on several practical methods to help people build coping skills and make changes that matter to them.

He has worked in mental health and addiction settings with children, adolescents, and adults, and has provided care via telehealth. His background includes military service and work as a Christian counselor, which he says gives him a broad perspective on how different people experience hardship.

Patrick also provides clinical supervision to candidates pursuing licensure in Arizona. He holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Liberty University and maintains active LPC credentials in Arizona and South Carolina. His work often focuses on issues such as relationship struggles, substance use, grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

In sessions he emphasizes collaboration and practical steps. People can expect direct conversation about goals, hands-on strategies for managing emotions, and steady support through transitions. The aim is to help people feel less alone while they work toward healthier routines and relationships.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience in each session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps clients make choices that match their values and needs. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, useful for stress, intense mood shifts, and self-regulation. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and highlighting strengths.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify what methods feel most useful and adjust the plan over time. That way therapy stays practical and aligned with what the person wants to achieve.

Details about online session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these methods over virtual sessions to teach skills, set goals, and support people through life changes without promising specific formats.
