About Edward

Edward Breedlove is a licensed professional counselor in Tennessee who blends practical counseling with a background in Christian ministry. He brings six years of full-time mental health practice to his work and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns.

Edward centers sessions on the person in front of him, treating them as the expert on their own life. He uses clear, straightforward conversation to help people identify strengths and next steps.

Background and approach

Sessions can focus on immediate coping skills or longer-term change depending on what someone needs. His approach pulls from several well-known methods, including the Gottman Method for relationship work, attachment-based ideas about how we connect, and cognitive behavioral techniques for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. He also draws on client-centered listening to shape each session around the individual's goals.

Edward has supported people with a wide range of issues such as compulsions and obsessive thoughts, process addictions like pornography or gambling, unwanted sexual behaviors, guilt and shame, infidelity, and fatherhood challenges. He also helps people facing major life transitions and those seeking clarity about career and life purpose.

People in Tennessee who choose to work with him can expect calm, practical guidance. He aims to act as a process consultant - talking through decisions, offering tools, and helping clients build on their own strengths to move forward.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Edward often blends the Gottman Method, attachment-based work, and client-centered listening in online sessions. The Gottman-informed work focuses on communication patterns and practical steps to reduce conflict and rebuild connection within relationships. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and current relational patterns affect feeling safe with others and helps people form more supported ties. Client-centered therapy centers the session around the person's experience, using empathic listening to guide goals and next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Edward collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and he adjusts as needs change. That collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions focus on skill building, emotional processing, or practical problem-solving.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video lets you work face-to-face when helpful, phone sessions are useful when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in, and text messaging supports shorter updates and reflections between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied life demands.
