Gina Gross

Gina Gross is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Gina works to make beginning therapy feel less intimidating and supports clients through difficult transitions like divorce and separation.

She uses a blend of approaches to suit each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods are used to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, shift behaviors, and improve emotional connection. Gina adapts the work to everyday concerns and practical goals.

Clients can expect straightforward, empathetic conversation where feelings and thoughts are explored without judgment. Gina emphasizes clear communication and collaborative goal-setting so people leave sessions with specific next steps. She also addresses issues such as control struggles, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose.

Gina has experience supporting LGBTQ people and those coping with panic, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. Her approach favors listening first, then introducing exercises that fit the person’s life. She encourages small, steady changes that add up over time.

How therapy approaches shape online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with panic, social anxiety, and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses and improving how people relate to important others, which can reduce isolation and improve communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Gina will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods and checks in together to make sure the approach matches the client’s needs and day-to-day life.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time. They also let people use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and avoid video when bandwidth or comfort makes audio preferable. Licensed therapists can tailor tools and homework to work well between sessions, so real-life routines support the changes people want to make.
