About Gina
Gina Gross is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with eight years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges related to family and LGBTQ concerns. She also addresses issues like guilt and shame, isolation, and coping with life changes.
Gina keeps sessions direct and straightforward. She helps people talk through what they are feeling and notice patterns that keep them stuck. Her approach draws on methods that focus on thoughts, emotions, and relationships so clients can try new ways of responding to hard moments.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors that maintain anxiety or low mood. Attachment-Based ideas and Emotionally-Focused techniques guide conversations about relationship patterns and the emotional responses that underlie them.
In practical terms, Gina helps people work on communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, and developing more self-love. She also supports people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. Sessions are aimed at making small, manageable changes that fit into everyday life.

How Gina brings therapy approaches into online work
Gina commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when strong emotions show up. It can help when guilt or shame makes people avoid things that matter. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and offers concrete experiments to test different ways of thinking and acting.She also uses Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how relationship patterns and emotional responses shape difficulties. Those approaches help people notice repeated interaction styles and try new responses in relationships or when feeling stuck. Choosing which approaches to emphasize is a collaborative process. Gina works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people connect from a quieter location, or choose audio-only if video feels like too much. Licensed professionals can help tailor scheduling and format to practical life needs.
