About Nicolas

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. He works with adults who are navigating relationship strain, family conflict, addiction, identity concerns, or struggles with self-worth. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable for worried parents and busy adults.

He favors a collaborative style. Sessions focus on clear goals and simple, workable steps.

Background and approach

He combines focused talk with exercises tailored to each person’s situation. This often means identifying patterns that get in the way and testing new ways of responding. Mr.

Gross draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address painful thoughts and avoidant behavior. He also uses Client-Centered and Narrative approaches to help people name their experience and reframe the stories that hold them back. These methods are adapted to what the individual needs in the moment.

Over two decades of practice in Florida inform his approach. He brings practical techniques for coping, plus attention to values and meaning when people face loss, illness, or major transitions. He aims to help people reclaim small wins and steady progress.

Work often includes making a short plan, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking what changes. His background supports work on parenting concerns, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and other challenges listed in his specialties.

Online approaches that fit daily life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when tough thoughts or feelings appear. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and for people stuck in avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions, offering practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It often helps with stress, panic, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their experience and discover their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicolas will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and use techniques from these models that fit best. He views therapy as a collaboration where methods are adjusted as progress or needs change.

Online therapy provides flexible options that match many lifestyles. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions let people connect when screens are impractical, and live chat or text-based messaging allow short, regular contact between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations while trying out new skills in daily life.

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.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
