About Patrick

Patrick Gribel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, burnout, and major life changes. He also supports people who feel stuck in relationships or struggle with low self-worth. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.

He brings a warm and collaborative manner to the work. Conversations are thoughtful and unhurried. Patrick helps clients notice patterns that repeat in relationships or inside themselves and then consider different ways of responding.

Background and approach

His practice pays attention to both immediate problems and deeper influences. That can mean looking at early attachments, unspoken expectations, or recurring self-criticism alongside practical skills for coping. Therapy aims to make symptoms easier to live with and to open up choices for change.

Clients can expect a reflective style that invites curiosity about history and present-day behavior. Patrick listens closely and encourages self-reflection so people can better understand what drives their reactions. He describes the space as respectful and nonjudgmental.

Starting therapy does not require having everything figured out. Patrick works with adults who are exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning. He helps people take steady steps toward feeling more grounded and making changes that feel right for them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then taking steps that align with your values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, mood, and self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with intimacy issues, trust, and recurring conflict.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful. Expect decisions about focus and techniques to be made together as the work unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in his biography. Online work often makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, as appointments can be scheduled around work, caregiving, or travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce the need to commute. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to teach coping skills, discuss patterns in relationships, and practice new ways of responding in everyday situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
