Nicolas Gross, LCSW

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, and the challenges of major life changes. He also supports people facing issues around parenting, intimacy, ADHD, and LGBT concerns.

Nicolas aims to create a calm, steady space where people can look honestly at what holds them back. He works together with each person to identify practical goals and small steps that fit their life. Sessions combine focused conversation with creative tools to help people test new ways of coping and relating.

Many clients come to him feeling stuck at a crossroads or weighed down by past experiences and self-limiting beliefs. He helps people notice their strengths and resilience and then use those resources to change patterns that cause pain. Progress is often about trying shorter experiments in thinking and behavior rather than big, immediate shifts.

His approach draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These methods are used to tailor a plan that addresses emotions, relationship conflicts, and habitual patterns that interfere with daily life.

Nicolas believes therapy is a collaborative process. He supports each person in outlining a practical strategy for managing emotions, improving communication, and moving toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying practical behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and topics, useful for exploring self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as needs shift and as certain strategies show results.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical. It can also let people try conversational exercises or behavioral experiments from their day-to-day settings, then bring observations back to sessions for reflection and planning.
