Nicolas Gross, LCSW

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of experience. He helps people who feel stuck at life’s crossroads. He works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, addictions, and issues related to identity and intimacy.

His approach is collaborative and straightforward. He listens first, then helps people name the patterns that hold them back. Sessions mix focused talk, goal setting, and practical exercises that can be used between meetings.

In therapy he creates a calm space for exploring both past wounds and current obstacles. He pays attention to how fears, self-limiting beliefs, and relationship patterns affect daily life. The emphasis is on uncovering strengths and practical steps rather than on labels or judgement.

Common topics he addresses include parenting stress, communication problems, commitment and control issues, codependency, and the emotional fallout from loss or major change. He also supports people managing attention challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Over two decades he has guided many people toward clearer goals and steadier routines. His work draws on client-centered listening, cognitive tools, and acceptance-based methods to build a plan that fits each person. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action. It focuses on clarifying values and committing to steps that match what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and empathy to help people name their goals and feel understood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time as what helps becomes clearer.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Ask whether sessions are offered by video, phone, or another format when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so routines stay intact.
