Robin Gross, LCSW

Robin Gross brings 35 years of clinical experience helping people navigate emotional distress, relationship strain, life transitions, grief, trauma, and challenges with self-image. She works across the lifespan, supporting infants, children, teens, adults and elders, with experience caring for people as young as 6 weeks through age 96. Her clinical background includes child development, family and marital concerns, inpatient and outpatient care, support for probation or parole adherence, and guidance through end-of-life issues.

Having been a military spouse for 30 years, she understands the disruptions of deployment and the complex work of reunifying families. She provides faith-informed Christian counseling as one option within a holistic treatment approach, while honoring the cultural, religious, and spiritual differences of each person and supporting those from other faiths or those who do not identify with a faith. Her practice emphasizes a personalized, eclectic mix of therapeutic methods tailored to individual needs.

Robin is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential that reflects advanced training in assessment and clinical treatment. She partners with clients to develop practical problem-solving tools and coping strategies that rebuild confidence and foster forward movement. Her approach centers on collaboration so clients are supported rather than facing struggles alone.

Therapeutic Methods and Online Care

Robin draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor care to each person's situation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful steps in spite of difficult thoughts or feelings - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to change them, often applied for depression, anxiety, and coping challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship that supports clients in discovering their own solutions and strengthening self-esteem and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Robin works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, and she may integrate techniques from different approaches to maximize fit. This partnership helps ensure the work feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or while managing busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, and fit therapy into everyday life while still receiving structured support and skill building.
