About Gina
Gina Gross is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ concerns, family matters, and coping with major life changes. Gina uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify what matters to them now.
She draws on several practical approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test small changes, and practice clearer ways of communicating. Conversations are aimed at concrete steps rather than abstract theories.
Gina often works with issues that come up around divorce, separation, control struggles, and communication breakdowns. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose. Sessions include talking through recent events and trying out new responses between meetings.
Her approach centers on a client-centered stance that respects each person's values and choices. She helps people identify goals and then uses specific tools from CBT and ACT to work toward them. Attachment-informed ideas shape how she looks at relationship patterns and emotional responses.
Gina practices in Washington and offers services in English. If someone wants to begin, they are asked to use the site buttons to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters and practice actions that fit those values. It is useful for worry, low mood, and decisions about direction in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and social fears. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape current reactions; it can be useful when relationship stress or communication problems are central.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean mixing ACT, CBT, and attachment-informed ideas across sessions and adjusting as progress is observed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or to have shorter check-ins when life is busy. They also allow practice of communication skills and behavior experiments in the context of everyday routines, which many people find helpful when exploring life purpose or coping with change.
