Nicolas Gross, LCSW

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and life changes. He works with individuals facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, and identity questions including LGBT matters. He emphasizes practical steps that lead to clearer daily functioning and more manageable emotions.

Nicolas believes starting therapy is a courageous step toward a more engaged life. He meets people where they are and listens for what matters most to them. Together they identify barriers coming from past experiences, unhelpful thoughts, or habits that get in the way of wellbeing.

Sessions focus on clear goals and doable strategies. He uses talk therapy alongside structured approaches to change thinking and behavior. Clients work on reducing symptoms and building skills that fit their day-to-day routines.

He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, Narrative approaches, and Existential ideas to shape the work. These methods are used to make sense of problems, test new ways of relating, and find meaning after loss or disruption.

With 20 years of clinical experience, Nicolas brings steady, practical support to the work. He aims to activate each person’s strengths and resilience. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that match their needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect personal values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and habit change. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the person's lead to encourage self-understanding and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicolas will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time when something isn’t helping, and he involves clients in shaping the plan for change.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find online sessions help maintain momentum between in-person visits and create space to practice new skills in everyday routines.
