About Berekat
Berekat Petros is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. He practices in Florida and works in English and Amharic. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, depression, anxiety, or life changes and who need practical support to move forward.
He often supports people managing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation, and long-term depression. He also helps those facing substance use concerns, grief, trauma or abuse, and challenges with self-esteem or anger.
How Berekat works
His work frequently addresses relationship strain, communication problems, and parenting stress without assuming a particular family setup. Petros uses several straightforward approaches in sessions. He centers the conversation on each person's experience, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and brings mindfulness into coping routines.
He also uses motivational interviewing to build readiness for change and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals people can try between meetings. Sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Fees vary by location and depend on the subscription plan, which can be canceled at any time.
International clients are not accepted. To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist's availability. Petros aims to make the first steps clear and manageable for people under stress.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches applied online
Client-Centered Therapy is about focusing on the person's priorities and experiences. Sessions give people space to tell their story while the therapist listens and reflects to help clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches clear strategies to change patterns that worsen anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide what to try first. That collaborative process may mix mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing to build commitment, and short solution-focused tasks to test what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can support quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to keep appointments, fit therapy into a workday, and try different ways of connecting without travel.
