About Nicolas
Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and the ripple effects of major life changes. He supports people coping with addiction, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and concerns tied to identity and intimacy. He also offers help to those processing trauma, abandonment, and the impacts of natural or human-caused disaster.
Nicolas frames therapy as a practical, collaborative process. He listens first, then helps clients identify what gets in the way of living the life they want. Sessions focus on clear goals and steps clients can try between meetings. He uses straightforward talk, problem solving, and creative tools to move toward real change.
His approach draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, client-centered listening, narrative work, and existential questions about meaning and direction. These methods are adapted to fit each person's situation and goals rather than applied the same way for everyone.
In session, Nicolas helps people name patterns, test new habits, and practice skills that reduce distress and improve everyday functioning. He encourages small, realistic experiments so progress feels manageable. Over time the aim is to reduce the hold of unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to make room for more satisfying relationships and activities.
With 20 years of clinical experience, he brings steady, practical guidance to hard problems like grief, addiction, caregiving stress, and life transitions. Clients work at their own pace and focus on outcomes that matter in daily life.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them and focus on values-driven action. It can support people struggling with anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve routine functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel understood as they set their own goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicolas will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That may mean trying one method for a while, mixing techniques, or adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling, less time spent traveling, and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. If you want to pursue online work, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Licensed professionals can often adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to an online setting so clients can practice skills, set goals, and check progress in ways that fit everyday life.
