Nicolas Gross, LCSW

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and trauma and abuse. He often works with people who feel stuck at life crossroads and want more meaningful engagement with their lives. He also supports concerns around relationships, intimacy, parenting, self-esteem, and LGBT issues.

He approaches therapy as a collaborative process. He listens without judgment and helps clients identify patterns that hold them back. Sessions combine focused talk, practical goals, and creative tools to make change feel achievable.

Much of his work helps clients understand how past experiences influence current reactions. He helps people notice self-limiting beliefs and build on strengths that come from resilience. Together they map out small, concrete steps toward clearer priorities, better relationships, and more steady mood management.

Goals are set to match each person’s situation. Techniques include learning new ways to respond to difficult thoughts and feelings, practicing clearer communication, and testing small behavioral changes. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

With 20 years of clinical experience, he draws on several therapeutic approaches to tailor care to each person. He works with adults who want practical support to cope with life changes and to reduce the impact of painful experiences on daily life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship so people can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions. That approach supports emotional processing, confidence, and clearer decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. If one approach does not fit, they will adjust the plan together to find a better match.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering alternatives when camera use or long sessions are difficult. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people practice new skills, process difficult experiences, and try small changes between meetings.
