Nicolas Gross, LCSW

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and major life changes. He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy problems, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, and issues around LGBT identity. His work centers on practical steps that make daily life more manageable.

Nicolas believes beginning therapy is a brave, personal choice. He focuses on helping people notice how past experiences and limiting beliefs get in the way. Sessions use focused talk, clear goals, and creative tools to identify patterns that cause pain or keep life stuck.

In sessions he holds space for honest conversation and collaborative planning. He looks for strengths and resilience clients already have and helps bring those forward. The aim is to outline concrete strategies to reduce negative emotions and change self-defeating habits.

Therapy with him often involves examining relationship conflicts, fears, and everyday behaviors that interfere with work and family life. He works step by step to turn insights into actions that feel doable. This approach is meant to help people move toward a life that feels freer and more meaningful.

Nicolas brings 20 years of clinical experience to his work as an LCSW in Florida. He uses evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, narrative methods, client-centered work, and existential perspectives to fit each person's needs.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Nicolas often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide his work. ACT helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values, which can reduce avoidance and build meaningful daily routines. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior through practical exercises, helpful for anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns.

He also uses client-centered and narrative techniques to make space for each person's story. That means therapy is collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which approaches fit best. Finding the right method is part of the process and can change as goals evolve.

If you are considering online therapy with him, confirm the session formats before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed. It can also let people use telephone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult. Discussing preferences at first session helps shape a plan that fits your life and goals.
