About Edward
Edward Breedlove is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with six years in full-time mental health counseling and over 25 years of prior experience in Christian ministry. He works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and career coaching. He also pays attention to attachment issues, communication problems, fatherhood concerns, and feelings of guilt and shame.
Edward frames his role as a process consultant. He treats the person as the expert on their own story and helps people notice strengths they already have. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. Conversations are straightforward and goal oriented.
His background in ministry informs how he talks about values, meaning, and life purpose when those topics matter to a client. He has worked with unwanted sexual behaviors, process addictions, and obsessions and compulsions alongside more common problems like anxiety and relationship ruptures. That experience guides how he supports people through sticky, shame-laden topics.
In the room he blends relational work with techniques that change thought patterns and behavior. He draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. Those approaches shape how he addresses connection, patterns, and practical change.
Edward offers sessions in English from Tennessee. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire to match goals, then schedule an initial session. The cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust in relationships. Online sessions using this approach look at how past attachment experiences shape current closeness and distance, and they can help people practice different ways of relating to partners or themselves.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. In online sessions CBT often uses short skill-building exercises, homework, and clear steps to change anxious or shame-based thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can shift as the work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let people choose sessions that match technical limits - for example using audio only when bandwidth is low. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without promising a specific outcome.
