Patrick Reynolds, LPC

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, addiction, grief, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Sessions focus on practical, everyday steps people can use between meetings.

He draws on a person-centered base while using techniques from dialectical behavior work, motivational interviewing, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused care. That means sessions often begin by listening to what matters most to the client and then trying specific tools to reduce distress and improve communication at home. Patrick uses clear, direct language and short-term strategies when those fit a person's goals.

Patrick has worked in mental health and addiction settings, with children, adolescents, and adults, and he has experience providing services via telehealth. His background includes military work and a Christian counseling perspective, which he says inform how he understands stress and relationships. He also provides clinical supervision to licensure candidates in Arizona.

In sessions he typically helps people set small, achievable goals. He may introduce emotion-regulation and grounding skills from DBT, motivational techniques for change, and solution-focused steps to handle immediate problems. He encourages people to try things between sessions and to note what works and what needs adjusting.

People who are juggling parenting, family conflict, recovery, or major life changes often choose to work on concrete coping skills and communication strategies first. Patrick asks practical questions about daily routines, support at home, and priorities to shape each plan.
