About Patrick
Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 20 years of experience. He focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Patrick speaks English and sees clients in South Carolina via online formats like video, phone, chat, and messaging.
He uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals front and center. That means sessions start with what matters most to the individual and build tools from there.
Background and approach
He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with emotion regulation and on Motivational Interviewing when people want help finding internal reasons to change. Patrick has worked across mental health and addiction settings and has experience with grief, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, and compulsive behaviors.
He also lists additional focus areas such as attachment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and coping after disasters. He frames these issues in everyday terms and aims to reduce overwhelm while building small, useful changes. In sessions he emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
He offers strategies for sleep, coping with change, anger management, and improving communication. He tailors plans to the person’s situation and adjusts approaches as needs shift. New clients who want to begin are guided through a simple onboarding process that matches needs to methods and scheduling.
Patrick encourages people to take the first step toward relief and to work at a pace that feels manageable.
Evidence-informed approaches for online care
Patrick uses client-centered therapy to focus sessions on the person's priorities and values, helping them set goals and make choices that match their life. This approach works well for people facing stress, low mood, relationship struggles, and transitions.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques are useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing self-destructive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might help. That collaborative process guides which techniques are emphasized and how the plan changes over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat provide quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style contacts. These options make it easier to fit care into busy days and to use the format that best supports steady progress.
