About Berekat

Berekat Petros is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with more than 12 years of clinical experience. He holds licensure in Texas and Florida and has supported people coping with both everyday stressors and persistent mental health conditions.

Background and approach

Berekat takes a practical, compassionate approach to care that emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person's strengths and goals. His practice covers a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and life transitions.

ADHD is listed among his focus areas, and he also works with issues such as attachment concerns, autism spectrum traits, chronic illness and pain, eating-related problems, and communication or commitment struggles. Berekat combines evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies with a client-centered stance to tailor support to individual needs.

Based in Florida and fluent in English and Amharic, he assists clients through a variety of formats and aims to help people build practical coping skills, clarify values, and make meaningful changes over time.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person's experience and building a therapeutic relationship that honors individual preferences and goals; it helps people feel heard and shapes treatment around what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress and emotional pain.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together; the therapist will collaborate with the client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, and may combine techniques as appropriate. This collaborative process helps tailor treatment rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and preferences. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other locations, support consistent attendance, and allow clients to pick the format that feels most practical for their life while working on symptom management and personal goals.
