Patrick Reynolds, LPC

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings two decades of clinical experience to his work. He speaks plainly and meets people where they are, helping them sort through stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and midlife questions. He aims to make the first step feel doable and to walk alongside clients as they look toward change.

Patrick earned a Master of Arts in counseling and holds LPC credentials in Arizona and South Carolina. He has worked in mental health and addiction settings and has experience offering telehealth services. He also provides clinical supervision to counselor candidates pursuing licensure in Arizona.

In session he relies on a person-centered foundation and draws from several practical approaches. He uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills, motivational interviewing to support readiness for change, and trauma-focused strategies to address past harm. Sessions focus on real problems and usable strategies rather than jargon.

People come to him for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career problems. He also supports issues tied to abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging concerns, chronic illness, and coping after disasters. Patrick emphasizes compassionate, nonjudgmental conversation and collaborative goal-setting.

Sessions aim to identify small, concrete steps clients can try between meetings. He frames therapy as teamwork where the client’s goals direct the work and steady progress builds over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Patrick uses a client-centered foundation that emphasizes listening and understanding the person first, then tailoring practical steps to their needs. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps sessions focused on their goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is used to teach concrete skills for handling strong emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behavior. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and find personal reasons to try new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick treats choices about method as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on a client’s goals and how they respond. He checks in about what helps and shifts focus when needed so the plan stays useful and realistic.

The biography documents prior telehealth experience but does not list current session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the time it takes to travel to an office. It also can let people use lower-bandwidth options when video would be difficult. Licensed professionals use these formats to help clients practice skills and make steady progress without requiring them to change their daily routine.
