Edward Breedlove, LPC-MHSP

Edward Breedlove is a licensed professional counselor (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee who focuses on practical, skills-based care. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with attachment and emotion-focused ideas to help people handle anxiety, addictions, and relationship strain.

He spent over 25 years in Christian ministry before moving into full-time mental health counseling six years ago. That background shapes how he listens and how he partners with people facing big life changes. He treats concerns like obsessions and compulsions, process and sex addictions, and the fallout from infidelity or intimacy struggles.

Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-focused. He helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, try different responses, and practice new ways of relating. He also pays attention to attachment patterns and emotional responses that keep problems repeating.

Parents and fathers who worry about role changes or communication problems can explore concrete steps to improve connection and responsibility. He also assists people coping with guilt, shame, career questions, and finding life purpose.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach where the counselor acts as a process consultant. That means he helps people use their own strengths, try practical exercises between sessions, and track progress over time.

CBT and Attachment Approaches in Online Care

Edward uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, compulsions, stress, and many everyday problems where changing thinking and routine helps. He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect intimacy and communication. That work is helpful for rebuilding trust and improving how people relate to partners and children.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and pace. Sessions are collaborative and tailored so clients can try techniques and report back on what helps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is useful for longer work that benefits from visual cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and text or chat can support quick check-ins or between-session coaching. These options offer flexibility while keeping focus on practical progress and real-life change.
