About Patrick
Patrick Reynolds uses a person-centered approach at the heart of his work. He focuses on listening first and then helping parents and families find practical ways forward. Patrick is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twenty years of experience.
He works with concerns like stress, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and many family and parenting challenges. He explains options plainly and helps people choose what fits their situation. Sessions aim to clarify goals, build coping skills, and improve communication at home.
Background and approach
Patrick combines Client-Centered Therapy with elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide change one step at a time. His background includes clinical work in mental health and addiction settings and experience providing telehealth services. Patrick practices in South Carolina and brings long experience supporting people through grief, depression, and relationship strain.
He also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. In sessions he draws on Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused methods when those fit the need. That can mean short-term goal work or deeper trauma processing depending on the family’s situation.
He explains each option clearly and focuses on usable tools rather than jargon. Parents can expect straightforward conversation about parenting, boundaries, and behavior strategies. Patrick emphasizes practical steps for everyday life, along with emotional support.
His aim is to help families move toward healthier routines and clearer communication.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online family work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person and family needs at the center of sessions. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects back what is said, and helps parents and caregivers set their own goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. It can help with anger, anxiety, and stress that affect family life. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, goal-focused approach that helps people find their own reasons to change and build small steps toward better routines and parenting choices.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the family about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on skills training, problem-solving, trauma work, or a blend of methods suited to the situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so parents can choose what fits their schedule. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care during work or school hours and to check in between live sessions when needed.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Motivational Interviewing
A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
