About Nicolas
Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes, and supports people dealing with relationship struggles, addiction concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy.
Nicolas focuses on practical talk therapy. He helps people name what keeps them stuck and set small, concrete goals. Sessions often involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses in everyday life. He also uses storytelling approaches to reframe past experiences that still cause pain.
Many clients come when a painful decision or loss has left them unsure how to move forward. Nicolas describes this as working with the “weight of past experiences” and self-limiting beliefs. He partners with people to recognize strengths they already have and to put those strengths into action.
His methods blend Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered practices, cognitive behavioral techniques, and narrative work. That mix is aimed at changing patterns that feed guilt, shame, avoidance, or repeated conflicts. Therapy includes focused conversation, goal-setting, and practical exercises to try between sessions.
Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Nicolas will listen, help clarify goals, and outline steps to address troubling thoughts, relationship problems, or overwhelming emotions. He frames change as a set of manageable actions rather than a single dramatic event.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with what matters most. It can help with persistent shame or guilt by clarifying values and encouraging small steps toward meaningful activity.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new responses, which can reduce repetitive self-blame and avoidance. Client-centered work places the person's perspective and goals at the center and supports self-directed exploration and decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Nicolas will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. He adjusts the mix of ACT, CBT, or client-centered techniques based on what helps a person make practical changes.
Confirm which session formats Nicolas offers before scheduling, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while they try new skills in their everyday life.
