Berekat Petros , LPC, LMHC

Berekat Petros is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 12 years of practice. He works from Florida and brings long experience helping people manage both everyday stress and longer-term mental health challenges.

He focuses on clear, practical support. Sessions aim to identify what is most pressing and to build small steps forward. Berekat uses straightforward tools that clients can try between meetings to test what helps in real life.

His background includes work with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and mood challenges. He also helps people facing addiction, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and the ongoing stress of life transitions. He supports people coping with parenting pressures and relationship or communication problems.

Berekat draws on several common therapy approaches to match each person's needs. He blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies are also part of his approach when they fit the situation.

Sessions are provided in English and Amharic. He has experience across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, attachment differences, body image struggles, grief, cancer-related stress, and chronic pain management. People who want practical, empathic guidance for living with health challenges may find his style helpful.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's concerns and priorities, giving space for their voice and choices while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting values, making decisions, or feeling heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted as progress or challenges emerge.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make attending sessions easier around work, appointments, or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing meetings during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also let people choose shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, or avoid being on camera if that feels better for focus. Ask about the available session formats and scheduling when you begin the intake process.
