About Nicolas
Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down by stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, codependency, and life changes. Nicolas also supports people facing parenting strain, caregiver stress, and LGBTQ concerns.
He focuses on practical, talk-based work. Sessions look at how past experiences and current habits get in the way of everyday functioning. He helps people name patterns that cause them to lose themselves or keep putting others first. The goal is clearer choices rather than quick fixes.
Nicolas draws on several approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Existential thinking, and Narrative therapy. He uses these tools to set specific, achievable goals and to test small changes between sessions. Therapy may involve looking at thoughts, practicing new behaviors, and reimagining personal stories.
In sessions he combines steady listening with concrete strategies. Conversations often move from identifying what’s holding someone back to mapping doable steps forward. People who feel overwhelmed by relationship demands, abandonment fears, or patterns of caretaking may find this direct, problem-focused style useful.
He works from Florida and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and use the site's scheduling steps to arrange an initial visit.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small committed actions toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts. This approach can help with anxiety, codependency patterns, and making concrete life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines unhelpful thoughts and behavior cycles and teaches practical skills to change them; it often helps with depression, anxiety, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's own perspective and fosters clearer self-understanding so they can make choices that fit their life.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as progress unfolds.
Confirm current session formats before booking because specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce the time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people join from a quieter space or choose a phone session when video is difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists generally use online work to help maintain continuity of care and to make sessions more practical for everyday life.
