About Nicolas
Nicolas Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people who feel stuck, anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed by life changes. He works with clients navigating grief, relationship problems, addiction concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy.
His approach is straightforward and collaborative. He listens first to understand the story a person tells about their life. Together he helps identify patterns that hold someone back and looks for practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Nicolas uses a mix of narrative methods and other evidence-informed techniques to rewrite unhelpful stories and build new habits. Sessions often include focused conversation, goal-setting, and simple exercises to try between meetings. He aims to make therapy feel usable and relevant to everyday challenges.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk about hard topics like trauma, abandonment, parenting strain, or compassion fatigue. He pays attention to both past experiences and current choices when shaping a plan for change. The work often centers on small, steady shifts rather than quick fixes.
Practicing in Florida, Nicolas supports people dealing with stress, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and issues related to aging, caregiving, or chronic illness. He also offers support around communication problems, codependency, and the aftermath of separation or loss.

Online session options
How narrative and action-oriented methods work online
Nicolas draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps identify limiting narratives and opens space for alternative, more empowering ways of seeing events and choices. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is used to clarify values and build small actions that align with what matters most, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental tone. That means listening carefully and following the client's lead while offering reflections and questions that deepen understanding. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and how well different methods fit the issue at hand.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a lunchtime check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work and try different formats as needs change.
