About Nicolas
Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship tensions, addiction concerns, and the disorientation that follows big life changes. He also supports people navigating parenting strains, intimacy problems, ADHD, and LGBT-related concerns.
He often sees people who feel stuck at a crossroads and unsure what comes next. He talks with clients about how past experiences and self-limiting beliefs shape choices now. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps rather than vague promises.
His style blends talk therapy with specific methods to shift habits and patterns that cause pain. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice and move through difficult thoughts. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking. Client-Centered and Narrative approaches are used to clarify values and rewrite problematic stories about the self.
In sessions he helps clients map barriers to better functioning in work and relationships. That can mean building small, doable behavioral experiments, practicing communication skills, or reframing memories that keep someone stuck. He also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, abandonment issues, and other focused concerns listed in his specialties.
Practical goals and measurable steps are central. Clients work on concrete strategies for emotion management, improved interaction patterns, and clearer life decisions. The approach is collaborative - decisions about focus and pacing are made together based on each person’s needs and circumstances.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Nicolas commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into sessions. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and reconnect with their values so they can take meaningful steps despite discomfort. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing practical changes in behavior to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels useful, adjusting pacing, and combining techniques when needed so the work stays relevant to everyday problems.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be delivered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, which can make regular check-ins more practical. Others appreciate shorter or audio-only options when bandwidth or quiet time is limited. Discussing these practicalities at the first appointment helps match the way you meet with him to your schedule and goals.
