About Berekat
Berekat Petros is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, with 12 years of clinical experience. He is based in Florida and works with people who face everyday stress as well as longer-term mental health struggles. He lists anger among his areas of focus along with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, and relationship and family concerns.
He works directly with people who want clearer ways to handle strong feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps - noticing patterns, testing new ways of responding, and building small habits that change daily interactions. He also supports those coping with grief, trauma, parenting strain, career stress, and life transitions.
Berekat uses several established methods in his sessions. He draws on client-centered work to prioritize the person’s goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are used when someone needs short-term direction or help committing to change.
He has experience helping people who face complex or overlapping problems such as ADHD, attachment difficulties, chronic illness, substance issues, body image struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. He offers therapy in English and Amharic for adults. He does not take international clients.

How Berekat blends approaches for online work
Berekat commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy in his work. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening to what matters most to the person and supporting their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce reactive patterns such as outbursts or persistent rumination.He also uses Mindfulness Therapy to build awareness of bodily and emotional signals before they escalate. Mindfulness exercises can help reduce automatic reactions and increase options for responding to triggers. Together these approaches aim to make anger and stress easier to notice and manage through small, repeatable practices.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjust them over time. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and shifting focus if something is not working.
