Robin Gross , LCSW

Robin Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, grief, depression, and a wide range of life transitions. She brings extensive experience across the lifespan, having worked with clients from six weeks to 96 years old, and has practical background in child development, family and marital issues, inpatient and outpatient care, probation and parole adherence, and end-of-life concerns.

Her practice reflects an integrative, personalized approach that combines evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. Robin is able to offer faith-based Christian counseling when appropriate, while respecting and working with clients of different faiths or those without religious affiliation. Her trainings and methods address issues such as parenting, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem difficulties, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and complex relational and attachment challenges.

Having lived as a military spouse for 30 years, she understands the strains of deployment and family reunification and incorporates that lived experience into clinical work with families and individuals affected by military life. As an LCSW - a professional license for clinical social work practice - she focuses on collaborative problem solving, strengthening coping skills, and helping clients reconnect with their capacities and goals. Robin emphasizes a compassionate, client-centered process that supports people as they work toward better functioning and greater resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Robin Gross commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with client-centered principles, to guide online work. ACT focuses on identifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions - it can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT targets the relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering structured techniques to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and unhelpful patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the pace and focus of work while the therapist supports insight and self-directed change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Robin partners with each person to explore goals, preferences, and needs, and tailors methods collaboratively so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging increase flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to schedule care around work, family, and geographic constraints. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing skill-building, check-ins, and therapeutic support in ways that can integrate into everyday life.
