Robin Gross , LCSW

Robin Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, and challenges to self-image. She approaches each person with respect and gratitude for the courage it takes to share difficult stories, and she draws on a broad background that spans child development, family and marital concerns, life transitions, inpatient and outpatient care, probation or parole adherence, and end-of-life issues. Robin has worked with clients across the lifespan, from infants of six weeks to adults up to 96 years old, and brings practical experience supporting parents, teens, and older adults alike.

Having been a military spouse for 30 years, she understands the strain of deployment and the complexities of reunifying family life. Robin provides faith-based Christian counseling when it is requested and uses a holistic approach that incorporates a client’s cultural, religious, or spiritual background - she welcomes clients from different faiths or those who do not practice a faith. Her practice blends evidence-based techniques into personalized treatment plans aimed at building coping skills, solving problems, and restoring confidence. Clients work collaboratively with her to develop tools for daily life so they do not face their challenges alone.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Robin Gross draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor online treatment to each person's needs. ACT helps clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience, offering empathetic, nonjudgmental support that encourages self-exploration and strengthens coping resources.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Robin will collaborate with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adjusting strategies as progress is made. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options support ongoing access to licensed professionals and allow clients to receive consistent support in ways that fit their daily lives.
