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 problems, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. He also supports people exploring identity, culture, faith, and questions of meaning. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.
Patrick uses a collaborative, reflective style. He combines attachment-based ideas with psychodynamic and humanistic influences. In practice that means he attends to what is happening now while also looking for repeated patterns that underlie it.
In a typical session he listens closely and invites gentle reflection. He helps clients notice patterns such as self-criticism, roles they take with others, and expectations that cause stress. Conversations move at an unhurried pace so clients can consider changes thoughtfully.
When people come in feeling stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health, Patrick focuses on practical understanding first. He links present struggles to earlier relationships and life events so clients can see why certain responses keep showing up. He avoids quick fixes and instead helps people practice new ways of responding.
He blends methods from Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy as fit. That mix helps with emotional regulation, clearer decisions, and repairing important connections. Patrick encourages steady, manageable shifts rather than rushed promises of sudden transformation.
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small, practical steps toward actions that matter to the person, which can help when someone feels stuck after a life change.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people identify repeated ways of relating that create tension in close relationships and offers ways to practice different interactions that feel more connected and reliable.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they choose strategies that fit the client's needs and adjust them over time as those needs change.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Because the original biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online sessions can still allow the same reflective conversations, behavioral experiments, and skills practice used in person, while making it simpler to attend from different locations.
