Tia Gross, LCPC

Tia Gross is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma and abuse. She works with adults who are navigating relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, career shifts, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and the everyday demands of life. Her approach aims to make the first steps feel manageable and clear.

Tia draws on 16 years of experience in correctional, outpatient, and community settings across Maryland. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Towson University and a Master of Science in Applied Psychology - Counseling from the University of Baltimore. Those years of practice shape how she plans sessions and sets goals with each person.

In sessions she uses relational and collaborative methods to build a warm working relationship. She also uses strength-based and solution-focused techniques to highlight practical steps people can try between appointments. Cognitive behavioral approaches are part of her work when addressing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress.

Tia aims to be flexible and creative in designing a plan that fits each person’s life. She encourages people to build on existing strengths and to experiment with small changes that add up. Progress is framed as steady work rather than instant fixes.

Her style is straightforward and respectful, with emphasis on clear goals and tools that can be used outside the therapy room. People who want practical strategies alongside supportive listening may find this approach helpful.

Approaches that guide online work

Tia uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and change thought and behavior patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and anger. This approach focuses on practical skills and short-term exercises that can be practiced between sessions.

She also uses strength-based and solution-focused techniques. These approaches emphasize a person’s existing abilities and small, achievable steps toward solving immediate problems. They tend to focus on clear goals and actions rather than long, open-ended exploration.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss your goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods fit best. That collaboration helps shape the plan and allows adjustments as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy depend on the formats offered. The biography did not list specific formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can also share worksheets and exercises electronically to support practice between meetings.
