About Patrick
Patrick Gribel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-worth, burnout, and big life transitions. He offers therapy in English and Portuguese and welcomes people exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning. Sessions aim to be thoughtful and unhurried from the first meeting.
His approach is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. Patrick pays careful attention and invites reflection while focusing on current problems. He also looks at recurring patterns that may keep difficulties coming back, like early relationships, self-criticism, or the roles a person slips into with others.
In sessions he encourages curiosity about where feelings and behaviors come from. Conversations mix practical steps with exploration of deeper influences. The pace is measured so clients can notice changes without being rushed.
Patrick draws on several therapeutic ideas to match what each person needs. He uses techniques that help with thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns. The goal is to help people feel steadier, understand themselves better, and make changes that hold up over time.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and Patrick emphasizes respect and a nonjudgmental tone. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning. If you want to explore meaning, identity, or ways to manage stress and relationships, he aims to provide steady guidance and a clear space to work through those concerns.
Approaches that guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and confusion about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior, offering clear strategies to shift patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help when relationship patterns or insecurity keep reappearing.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to figure out what fits your needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions can mix strategies so you get practical skills plus deeper reflection when that seems helpful.
Confirm current session options before booking to make sure they match your situation. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or wants a format with lower bandwidth needs. Discuss available formats during scheduling so sessions match your day-to-day routine.
