About Nicolas

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, and life transitions.

Background and approach

He works collaboratively with clients who feel stuck or at a crossroads, guiding them to recognize patterns that limit their well-being and to mobilize the resilience they already possess. His approach blends practical, goal-oriented strategies with reflective exploration so clients can identify and change self-defeating habits and emotional responses.

In sessions he combines structured therapeutic techniques with a supportive, client-centered stance, using talk therapy and tailored interventions to address both present challenges and past influences. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy among other approaches to help clients reframe thoughts, develop coping skills, and pursue meaningful values.

Located in Florida, he provides care to English-speaking clients and brings two decades of experience to work on issues such as intimacy, parenting, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and a range of attachment and identity concerns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and take committed action toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be especially useful for people coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill building, making it a strong option for stress, mood concerns, and addiction-related behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own process of growth and self-understanding, which can help when exploring identity, grief, or relational difficulties.

Finding the right combination of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the specific issues at hand, adapting methods over time so sessions remain aligned with progress and changing needs. This partnership helps ensure that therapeutic techniques feel relevant and useful rather than prescribed.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and allow clients to engage from locations that fit their life. These options make it easier to maintain consistency with appointments, integrate skills practice between sessions, and access support when in-person visits are not practical, while still working with licensed professionals to pursue meaningful change.
