About Patrick
Patrick Gribel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. He also supports people exploring identity, culture, faith, and questions of meaning, and offers sessions in English and Portuguese.
Patrick’s approach is collaborative and paced to each person. He focuses on current problems while looking for deeper patterns that may keep difficulties returning. He asks about early relationships, recurring roles, and self-critical habits that often shape how someone responds to stress and relationships.
Sessions are thoughtful and unhurried. Patrick listens closely, invites reflection, and helps bring less-visible patterns into view. Conversations are aimed at increasing understanding and creating steady, practical changes people can use between sessions.
He combines methods that pay attention to feelings, thoughts, and relational history. This lets him address immediate symptoms like anxiety or low mood while also working on longer-term areas such as attachment and self-concept. Clients can expect a mix of talking, noticing patterns, and practicing new responses.
Patrick is based in Florida and works with adult clients. He uses plain language and a steady pace to help people feel clearer about next steps. Starting therapy does not require having everything figured out beforehand.
How his therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed steps toward what matters to them, even when difficult feelings show up. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck by teaching skills to notice thoughts and act in line with personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits that reduce symptoms like worry or low mood.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current expectations and behavior. It can be useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and understanding recurring conflict with others.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. He will work collaboratively to identify what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as issues change or new priorities emerge.
