About Edward

Edward Breedlove brings a counseling approach grounded in cognitive behavioral principles while drawing on attachment-focused and client-centered influences.

Background and approach

He integrates practical tools for identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with attention to relational patterns and personal strengths, guiding clients through changes related to stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

With six years in full-time mental health counseling and a longer background in Christian ministry, he combines clinical skills with an understanding of life transitions and moral or spiritual influences that can shape recovery and growth.

Licensed as an LPC-MHSP in Tennessee, Edward works with individuals and couples around a range of concerns including obsessive-compulsive patterns, process and sex addictions, communication and attachment issues, fatherhood challenges, infidelity, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and career.

He frames therapy as a collaborative process in which clients' own knowledge and resilience are central, while he offers structure, evidence-informed strategies, and steady support during difficult periods.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Edward frequently uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is useful for concerns such as anxiety, OCD symptoms, and many addictive behaviors because it focuses on practical skills and step-by-step change. He also incorporates attachment-based work that examines how early and current relationship patterns influence emotions and interactions, which can be especially helpful for intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and repair after infidelity.

Finding the most helpful approach is treated as a collaborative process. He partners with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods over time so therapy fits each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for clients managing busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats allow regular access to licensed professionals and make it easier to maintain continuity of care while working on thought patterns, relationship skills, addiction recovery, or life-purpose questions.
