About Edward
Edward Breedlove is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with six years working full time in mental health counseling. He helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and coping with life changes. He also supports concerns around trauma and abuse, career questions, and coaching for life direction.
Before counseling he spent over 25 years in Christian ministry, which informs how he listens and asks questions. He describes his role as a process consultant who notices what already works and what gets in the way. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can try between appointments.
Edward uses a mix of approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. He helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns, test new responses, and practice different ways of relating. Conversations often include straightforward skill building and problem solving.
He has experience addressing obsessive thoughts and compulsions, process and sex addictions, infidelity, fatherhood issues, and the shame or guilt that follows relationship ruptures. He also works with clients on communication problems and rebuilding trust after conflict.
Sessions aim to be structured and goal-focused while still allowing time to talk about immediate worries. People who contact him typically start by clarifying a few practical goals and then try small behavior changes to see what helps.
How Edward applies CBT and attachment work online
Edward commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to test small behavior changes that reduce symptoms. CBT is practical and interest-driven, and it is often used for anxiety, obsessions, and everyday stress.He also draws on attachment-based approaches that look at how relationship patterns form and how those patterns affect communication and intimacy. Attachment work can help with relationship ruptures, trust issues, and reconnecting after conflict.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will discuss goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods suit the issue and the person’s preferences.

The therapist treats online sessions like any other clinical time, focusing on clear goals, skill practice, and steps to try between meetings.
