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 difficulties, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. He also supports people thinking about identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning, and he offers therapy in English and Portuguese.
Patrick’s approach is collaborative and reflective. He pays attention to what is happening now while gently noticing older patterns that recur. That can include early relationships, roles people take on, or harsh self-criticism that keeps problems returning.
Sessions are thoughtful and unhurried. He invites reflection and helps clients see patterns that were not obvious before. Conversations aim to make tense moments more understandable rather than sweep them aside.
Patrick draws on attachment-based ideas alongside psychodynamic and humanistic influences. He uses that mix to look at how past relationships shape current reactions and to build practical ways to respond differently in daily life.
He integrates focused techniques when needed, such as skills for managing distress and steps to adjust unhelpful thinking. This blends attention to deeper meaning with hands-on strategies for coping and clearer communication.
Starting therapy does not require having everything sorted out first. Patrick encourages people to bring what they have - worries, doubts, or hard questions - and to work together to clarify next steps.
Approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, low self-worth, and motivation when life feels confusing.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. It can be useful for people who keep repeating the same problems in relationships or who struggle with trust and intimacy.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will collaborate with the client to try approaches that fit their needs and daily life. This may mean combining reflective conversations with practical skills practice.
Confirm available session options before booking. When online sessions are offered, they can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and let someone choose whether to be on camera. Check the session options provided during booking to pick the format that works best.
