Patrick Gribel

Patrick Gribel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-worth, burnout, and major life changes. He welcomes people who are exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese.

He describes his approach as warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. Patrick pays close attention to what is happening now and also looks for repeating patterns from earlier relationships or long-held expectations. He invites reflection and helps bring hidden habits into view so people can make different choices.

In sessions Patrick moves slowly and thoughtfully. He listens without judgment and asks questions that encourage clarity. The pace is meant to help people feel steadier before trying new ways of coping.

He uses ideas from attachment-focused work, client-centered practice, cognitive and behavioral tools, and acceptance-based methods. These blends allow him to address immediate symptoms like anxiety or mood shifts while also looking at how past experiences shape current reactions.

People often come for help with career concerns, addiction, grief, trauma, intimacy challenges, or attention-related struggles. Patrick also supports those dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and other overlapping issues.

Starting therapy does not require having everything resolved. Patrick supports people at early or later stages of change, helping them understand patterns, build practical skills, and set goals that fit their life.

How core approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choosing actions that fit your values. It can help with anxiety, mood struggles, and life transitions where people want clearer direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections. This approach is useful for relationship concerns, intimacy issues, and understanding recurring emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. That might mean practicing a skill one week and reflecting on relationship patterns the next.

The profile does not specify which online session formats are available, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It can also let someone use audio-only sessions if video is difficult or choose a time that works around work or caregiving duties. Licensed professionals can adapt their methods to remote sessions so therapy stays focused on meaningful changes rather than logistics.
