About Nicolas
Nicolas Gross helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and addictions find clearer ways forward. He often supports those dealing with major life changes, parenting challenges, coping with trauma, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem. Nicolas is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with 20 years of experience, and he speaks English.
He describes therapy as a practical process. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps someone stuck and identifying small, doable steps toward change.
Background and approach
He combines focused talk with goal-setting and creative tools to help people interrupt unhelpful patterns. Nicolas pays attention to how past experiences and current habits shape daily life. He helps people notice strengths they already have, then builds on those strengths in therapy.
This work can include looking at how relationships, attachment, or difficult events influence choices and feelings. His approach brings together methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening. Those methods guide conversations about values, thoughts, and behaviors so people can try different ways of responding to stress and triggers.
In practice, sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Nicolas aims to create a clear plan for moving forward, whether the goal is managing mood, reducing anxiety, improving communication, or coping with loss. He helps people map practical steps and test them between sessions.
How these approaches work online
Nicolas commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and learning to accept difficult feelings while taking committed action toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking patterns and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Nicolas will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods that match the person's needs. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different routines.
