Nicolas Gross, LCSW

Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stressful life moments. He helps people manage anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship concerns. He also supports those facing parenting strain, intimacy issues, attention differences, and the effects of trauma or abuse.

Nicolas focuses on practical conversations that identify what is getting in the way of a better day-to-day life. He listens for patterns born from past experiences and helps people notice how those patterns show up now. Together he and the client set small, realistic goals and try new ways of responding to difficult feelings.

Sessions draw on cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment elements to clarify values and action steps. He also uses client-centered listening and narrative approaches to help people reframe stories that limit them. The emphasis stays on useful tools people can apply between sessions.

Nicolas aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where clients can map change at their own pace. He often pairs focused talk with practical exercises and brief skill-building between meetings. The work is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.

He practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. Nicolas has helped people dealing with a wide range of concerns including family conflict, caregiving stress, abandonment and attachment issues, codependency, commitment problems, and coping with life transitions. His approach is straightforward and goal oriented.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values, which can ease stuckness around relationships or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and building new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and empathetic reflection to help people feel heard and to uncover personal strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicolas will collaborate with each person to choose which methods suit their goals and preferences, and he will adjust methods as progress and needs change. The aim is to match tools to the situation rather than force a single way of working.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation when a face-to-face feel matters. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera helps concentration. Live chat and text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or when scheduling needs a short, focused option. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
