About Edward

He is Edward Breedlove, LPC-MHSP, and brings six years of full-time mental health counseling experience alongside a long background in Christian ministry.
Background and approach
He writes plainly and aims to make therapy practical and straightforward. He helps people who are struggling with trauma and abuse, unwanted sexual behaviors, process addictions such as porn or gambling, or compulsive habits related to OCD.
He also supports those facing life transitions, career questions, fatherhood issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. Communication problems and infidelity are also areas he addresses.
Edward draws on approaches that include the Gottman Method, attachment-based work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally focused strategies. In sessions he listens first, helps people notice patterns, and works with them to try small changes that feel doable.
He frames himself as a process consultant who partners with each client s they try things out. Therapy sessions aim to be practical, with clear steps people can use between meetings.
Edward uses straightforward language and focuses on skills like communication changes, coping strategies for anxiety, and ways to manage compulsive urges. He also helps clients reflect on values and goals so therapy connects to real life.
He practices in Tennessee and works in English. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.
Approaches for relationships and compulsive behaviors online
Edward combines the Gottman Method with attachment-based and client-centered ideas to address relationship strain, intimacy concerns, and compulsive behaviors. The Gottman Method focuses on communication patterns and practical exercises couples or partners can use to reduce conflict and increase understanding. Attachment-based work looks at how early connection patterns shape current reactions and helps people notice and shift those patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and meeting each person where they are to help them feel heard and make their own choices.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Edward will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which ideas and techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises that involve tone and expression. Phone sessions may be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging can work well for quick updates, ongoing encouragement, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
