Tia Gross, LCPC

Tia Gross is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland who draws on 16 years of experience supporting adults through stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions.

That mix of settings and schooling shapes a practical approach to problem solving.

In sessions she uses relational and collaborative ways of working to build a supportive connection. She also draws on strength-focused, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused ideas to help people set goals and try new behaviors. Conversations aim to identify clear steps clients can use between meetings.

Tia keeps therapy flexible and inventive so it fits each person’s needs. She focuses on building strengths, managing difficult feelings, and creating realistic plans for change. The goal is steady progress that feels useful in daily life.

People who choose her often want straightforward help with emotional regulation, better communication, and moving through big life changes. She invites clients to explore what matters most and to practice small, sustainable shifts over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Tia commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice different responses. This approach focuses on clear, step-by-step changes that can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that emphasize small, achievable goals. Those methods help when someone wants quick, practical ways to handle specific problems like relationship patterns or work stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and revisit the plan as progress is made.

If you are interested in online therapy, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also allows consistent contact during life transitions and makes it simpler to schedule sessions around work or family obligations.
