Patrick Gribel

Patrick Gribel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-worth, burnout, and major life changes. He offers therapy in English and Portuguese and speaks with people exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning. Patrick’s approach is calm and attentive, meant to help someone feel steadier as they sort through what matters most.

Patrick brings four years of clinical experience to sessions. He combines practical, present-focused strategies with attention to deeper patterns that can repeat over time. That means addressing current stresses while also noticing how early relationships, self-criticism, or repeated roles shape present reactions.

Sessions tend to be thoughtful and unhurried. Patrick invites reflection and pays careful attention to what feels hard to name. He aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can better understand themselves and try new ways of coping.

In practice he blends methods that focus on values, thought patterns, and relationships to help people make changes that last. Work may include clarifying priorities, learning skills for strong emotion, and tracking patterns that keep problems returning.

Starting therapy does not require having everything figured out. Patrick encourages a collaborative process where questions and curiosity guide the work, and small steady changes are valued alongside deeper insight.

How his approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking actions that match those values. It helps when worry, low mood, or life change makes it hard to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete tools to reduce unhelpful patterns like rumination or avoidance. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with intimacy, trust, and repeated relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean emphasizing values and skills on some weeks and slower, reflective exploration in others.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent work during life transitions when schedules or locations change. A simple conversation at the start will clarify which methods and practical arrangements will best support each person.
