Carol Gross, LCSW

Carol Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who face anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, grief, ADHD, relationship strain, codependency, and related concerns. Carol describes her work plainly and focuses on helping people notice what is happening for them and make practical changes.

She began her career studying human behavior and data analysis and later added clinical practice. That mixture of analytic thinking and clinical work shapes how she structures sessions. She often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness to help people increase psychological flexibility.

In sessions she helps people identify what their pain is telling them and which behaviors move them toward what they value. Carol uses tools such as the ACT Matrix to sort thoughts, feelings, and actions so choices become clearer. She emphasizes building coping behaviors for anxiety, depression, and stress rather than relying on feeling better first.

Clients can expect practical steps alongside reflective work. She talks about noticing discomfort, then practicing small changes that fit daily life. That may include attention to sleep, eating, or routines when those areas are part of the problem.

Carol also draws on client-centered techniques and elements of DBT when emotion regulation or motivation is needed. Her background includes long experience with grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and challenges tied to attachment and abandonment concerns. She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.
