Gina Gross, LICSW - Therapist in Washington

About Gina

Gina Gross is a licensed social worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. Gina focuses on creating a calm space where people can speak honestly about what they are feeling and thinking.

Gina draws from several therapeutic approaches to match each person's needs. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people act on values even when feelings are hard.

Background and approach

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer choices. Gina has eight years of professional experience and works with people facing depression, panic, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. She also supports those navigating LGBT concerns, family tension, divorce and separation, and the strain of big life transitions.

Communication problems, feelings of guilt or shame, and struggles with control are other common themes she addresses. In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then practical steps you can try between meetings. Gina helps people build small routines and communication habits that reduce stress and improve relationships.

She aims for clear goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Gina offers sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Conversations are paced by the person seeking help, and she works collaboratively to set goals and track what helps over time.

Online methods grounded in clear therapy approaches

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then choose actions that align with their values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce panic, social anxiety, and persistent negative moods.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gina works together with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That collaborative process includes checking what helps and adjusting the plan as needed.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let people arrange sessions around work, family, or other obligations and keep continuity when life is busy. The mix of real-time conversations and message-based check-ins can help maintain momentum between meetings and make therapy easier to fit into a routine.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
