About Edward
Edward Breedlove is a Tennessee LPC-MHSP with six years in full-time mental health counseling and a prior 25 years in Christian ministry. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and people coping with major life changes. He also focuses on career questions and life purpose concerns.
Breedlove draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered ways of working. He helps people spot patterns in relationships and how those patterns affect trust and communication. Sessions often include practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to manage anxiety and OCD-related habits.
He describes his role as a process consultant. That means he talks through what’s happening now, points out strengths the person already has, and suggests steps to try between sessions. For relationship issues he uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method to help improve communication and repair ruptures.
People bring a mix of problems - compulsive behaviors, process addictions, infidelity, fatherhood concerns, guilt and shame, and struggles with intimacy. He works with those themes directly and translates therapeutic approaches into concrete actions people can use day to day.
His background in ministry informs his perspective but his work in counseling is clinical and focused on the client’s goals. Sessions are practical and discussion-based, with an emphasis on making progress people can notice in real life.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections. In practice this means noticing how trust and closeness form or break down and using that awareness to change interaction habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and lived experience. Sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting what the person says, and supporting them to make self-directed choices. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try approaches or techniques and adjust as needed so the work better fits what the person wants to change. Confirm current session options before booking if you need a specific online format. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week because they cut commute time and can be scheduled around work or caregiving. They can also make shorter check-ins possible when time is limited or allow audio-only conversations when less bandwidth is available. Ask about the practical session structure when scheduling so the format matches your routine and goals.Areas of expertise
