Patrick Reynolds, LPC

Patrick Reynolds is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. Patrick aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming by offering steady support and practical next steps.

He uses a person-centered style that keeps the client’s goals at the center of sessions. From there he draws on techniques from DBT, motivational interviewing, solution-focused work, and trauma-focused approaches to match tools to each person’s needs. Sessions tend to focus on clear coping skills, communication practice, and step-by-step problem solving.

Patrick has worked in mental health and addiction settings and has experience with children, adolescents, and adults. He also has military experience and a background as a Christian counselor, which inform his perspective without imposing a single approach. Over 20 years he has supported people through substance use concerns, grief, and major life transitions.

He also provides clinical supervision to licensure candidates in Arizona. Patrick emphasizes working together in a respectful, nonjudgmental way and helping people feel heard while making practical changes. He encourages clients to identify realistic goals and try small steps that add up over time.

People seeking help for intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, ADHD, addiction, or coping after trauma may find his blend of approaches useful. Patrick asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely and helps shape the conversation around what the client wants to change. This approach is useful for building trust and deciding practical next steps.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and handling conflict. It offers concrete tools for stress, anger, and relationship difficulties and can be taught in short exercises and practice between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify what they want and resolve mixed feelings about change. It is goal-directed and works well when someone is unsure about taking steps like reducing substance use or changing a habit.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made.

If you are interested in online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not fully listed here. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and make short check-ins easier during a workday. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper work. The therapist will discuss what works best and help arrange sessions that fit into everyday life.
