About Patrick

Patrick Gribel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-worth, burnout, and big life changes. He offers therapy in English and Portuguese. He also supports people exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning.

Patrick’s approach is warm and collaborative. He combines a depth-oriented style with practical conversation. Sessions focus on what is troubling a person now while also noticing patterns that repeat over time.

He pays attention to early relationships, unspoken expectations, and self-criticism that can keep problems coming back. Patrick invites reflection and helps bring less-visible patterns into view so people can understand themselves better.

Therapy with him moves at a thoughtful, unhurried pace. He aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where someone can feel steadier and make changes that last. Patrick emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who choose him often want to look at both current struggles and deeper roots. He works alongside clients to identify small, real steps toward clearer thinking, calmer reactions, and healthier ways of relating. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting.

Approaches and what online work can look like

Patrick uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match a person's values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns with others and helps people change how they connect and respond in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying ideas, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan over time rather than assuming one method will suit everyone.

Session options were not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it easier to keep momentum between appointments while still focusing on the same therapeutic goals discussed in face-to-face work.
