About Nicolas
Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life changes. He also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction struggles, and ADHD-related concerns. Nicolas takes a calm, straightforward approach that aims to make therapy feel manageable and practical.
He listens first to understand what matters most. Sessions focus on small, doable steps and clear goals. Conversations look at past patterns and present choices to find ways forward that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Nicolas combines focused talk therapy with practical tools. He draws on approaches like acceptance work, cognitive reframing, and narrative techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Together with clients he builds strategies for handling emotions, improving communication, and reducing day-to-day stress.
He works in a collaborative, nonjudgmental style that values each person's strengths and resilience. Therapy often involves setting short-term tasks between sessions and checking progress in simple ways. The aim is to replace stuck routines with more flexible habits that support better functioning.
Based in Florida, Nicolas has two decades of clinical practice across a range of concerns including trauma, intimacy issues, bipolar concerns, caregiver stress, and identity-related struggles for LGBT people. He frames therapy as a joint project where the client guides priorities and he offers structure, perspective, and tools to help reach them.
Approaches and practical online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them control behavior. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan can be adjusted as progress is tracked and new concerns arise.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging fits people who prefer writing or need adaptable scheduling. These options make it easier to maintain regular care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
