Gina Gross

Gina Gross is a licensed clinical social worker who emphasizes a warm, accepting approach. She introduces therapy as a collaborative process and makes space for honest conversation about stress, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ concerns.

Gina has eight years of professional experience working with people facing family conflict, life transitions, and questions about purpose. She pays attention to how relationships and patterns of connection shape daily life. Isolation and loneliness are part of the concerns she addresses in sessions.

In meetings she focuses on listening first and understanding each person’s priorities. Gina uses practical interventions from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also draws on attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how relationships affect feelings and behavior.

Clients can expect a straightforward conversation about what to work on and why it matters. Gina helps people set small, achievable steps and notices what gets in the way of change. She encourages compassion for hard feelings while exploring new ways to respond.

Gina practices in Washington as an LICSW, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice painful thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It can help with worry, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and small experiments. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, and social fears. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional patterns and helps people revise those patterns to connect differently.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She will review options, try strategies in session, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

The profile does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. Some approaches translate well to short skill-practice between sessions, while others benefit from longer conversations. Discussing practical needs during the match and scheduling steps helps determine what will work best for everyday life.
