About Carol
Carol Gross is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people manage anger, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She draws on practical approaches that focus on what matters most to each person. Carol writes plainly and works to make therapy feel understandable and doable.
She began her career studying systems and behavior, and that background informs her thoughtful, problem-solving style. Over time she has incorporated Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive strategies, mindfulness, and other client-centered methods into her work.
Background and approach
Carol uses these tools to help people notice their patterns and take steps that match their values. Sessions focus on skills that can be used right away. Carol helps people learn to recognize what their difficult feelings are signaling.
Then she supports practical steps to cope better with stress, anger, or mood swings. She often teaches simple mindfulness practices and behavioral strategies to reduce reactivity and increase calm. In some cases she uses decision and sorting tools to clarify choices and priorities.
The aim is to increase flexibility in daily life so stressful moments become more manageable. Carol also brings experience with addiction, trauma, ADHD, grief, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and related concerns. She adapts sessions to fit a person’s goals, whether that is improving sleep, addressing relationship patterns, or handling workplace strain.
People who work with Carol can expect a collaborative approach. She listens, helps name what matters, and practices concrete skills together so change feels within reach.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do
Carol uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered listening to shape online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new skills to change them. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace and topics of work.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Carol will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative planning helps make sessions practical and relevant to everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill practice, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging lets people share updates between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into work, caregiving, or travel routines.
