About Berekat

Berekat Petros is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of clinical experience. He practices in Florida and works with adults who are trying to manage stress, mood problems, and life transitions. He also offers help for concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar mood patterns, addictions, and challenges linked to relationships and parenting.

Petros aims for straightforward, practical conversations in sessions. He listens first, then helps people set clear, achievable steps. Sessions often focus on small changes that build better day-to-day coping and clearer decision making.

His background includes long-term work with mood disorders and substance-related concerns, and he brings experience supporting people through grief, trauma, and life changes. He also addresses attention concerns like ADHD and a range of relationship and family stressors.

In the room he uses methods that match the person’s goals. These include client-centered approaches that prioritize the person’s own needs, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior, mindfulness practices to manage strong emotions, and motivational interviewing to support change. He also draws on solution-focused techniques to target immediate problems.

Sessions are available in English and Amharic. If you are considering therapy, the profile suggests choosing the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule based on the therapist’s availability.

How chosen approaches can work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone wants a space to talk and be heard while sorting priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks problems into smaller steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Mindfulness therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying CBT tools for mood management, adding mindfulness exercises, or keeping a client-centered stance depending on what helps.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats were not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel. It also allows brief check-ins or regular weekly sessions without needing extra travel time, which many people find helpful when balancing life commitments.
