Patrick Reynolds

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and career concerns. Patrick aims to make the first step feel manageable and practical for people looking for change.

He uses a person-centered stance in sessions, which means listening closely and shaping work around each person's needs. He combines that with techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused therapy. This mix is chosen to match what each person brings to the room rather than follow a single method.

Patrick has worked in mental health and addiction settings and provided telehealth services. He has experience supporting people with self-esteem, grief, relationship and family issues, intimacy concerns, and challenges related to sleep, eating, and anger. He also addresses ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and caregiving stress.

His background includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, aging and geriatric questions, chronic pain and illness, and disaster-related coping. He also brings perspective from military experience and Christian counseling in prior roles, which inform his empathetic approach without imposing beliefs.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and focused on real-world goals. Patrick encourages small, sustainable steps and uses practical strategies people can try between meetings. He also provides clinical supervision for licensure candidates in Arizona.

How these therapy approaches work online

Client-centered work focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. Online sessions using this approach emphasize open questions, reflection, and creating goals that match the person's real-life needs. It can help with stress, low mood, or relationship concerns by building understanding and hope.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. In remote sessions, DBT skills practice looks like learning short steps - such as grounding techniques or emotion regulation strategies - and then practicing them between meetings to see what helps.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in this profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also make skills practice more convenient by allowing people to try strategies in the settings where they live and work.
