About Nicolas

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. He supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, and codependency among other struggles. He often works with people facing big life changes or who feel stuck by past experiences or limiting beliefs.

He describes therapy as a collaborative process. Sessions focus on honest conversation, setting clear personal goals, and trying practical tools that fit each person's life. He helps clients identify patterns that get in the way and experiment with new ways of responding.

Over 20 years in practice have shaped a straightforward style. He draws on client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to find what matters most and move toward it.

Work often includes looking at relationships, parenting pressures, and the effects of trauma and loss. He pays attention to emotional safety while encouraging small, real-world steps toward change. People can expect a mix of talking, goal-setting, and practical exercises tailored to their situation.

His Florida license is listed as LCSW. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling step start the process.

How certain approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take steps that matter, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and meaning-focused work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions by reflecting what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Work is adjusted along the way so the approach fits the client's needs and daily life.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use a quieter setting or avoid camera use if that helps them focus. Licensed professionals often combine talk, worksheets, and behavioral tasks that can be completed between sessions to support steady progress.
