About Patrick
Patrick Gribel is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with four years of clinical experience. He sees adults who report anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. He also welcomes people exploring identity, culture, faith, or questions of meaning, and offers sessions in English and Portuguese.
His approach is collaborative and depth-oriented. He blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. Patrick pays attention to current problems while also noticing recurring patterns that show up over time.
In sessions he talks about how early relationships, unspoken expectations, or patterns of self-criticism shape current struggles. Conversations aim to make those patterns clearer so they can be changed. He works at a steady pace and invites reflection rather than pushing quick fixes.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy appears among the approaches he uses, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. That gives him tools for working with intense emotions and the ways people connect with others. He draws on techniques that focus on feelings, thoughts, and behavior together.
People who choose Patrick can expect thoughtful listening and a focus on both immediate concerns and longer-standing patterns. He offers practical steps alongside deeper reflection. If you prefer sessions in Portuguese he can work in that language as well.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps identify and name strong emotions and the ways they affect relationships. It can be useful when feelings are hard to talk about or when attachment patterns make interactions feel stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and practical actions while learning to accept difficult thoughts and sensations rather than fight them.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He will adjust the mix of emotional exploration and behavior-focused strategies based on what a client prefers and what is most helpful.
