About Gina

Gina Gross is a licensed clinical social worker who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, client-centered stance.

Background and approach

With eight years of practice in Washington, she often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop workable strategies for managing anxiety, panic, and everyday stress. Gina also integrates acceptance-based and attachment-informed ideas to address emotional pain that shows up in relationships and identity concerns.

Her work focuses on a broad range of life challenges including depression, family conflict, issues related to LGBT identity, and transitions like separation or divorce.

Gina pays close attention to how shame, guilt, isolation, and difficulties with communication or control can interfere with well-being, and she collaborates with clients to set realistic goals and practice new skills between sessions. She emphasizes respect, nonjudgment, and partnership so clients can explore values, build self-compassion, and move toward clearer purpose and connection.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you

Gina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, panic, and depressive moods, offering practical tools and structured practice. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes clarifying personal values and developing psychological flexibility so people can respond to difficult feelings while moving toward what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Gina treats that as a collaborative exploration. She works with clients to identify goals, test strategies, and adjust methods over time so the treatment aligns with each person’s needs and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy in her practice includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible and reduce barriers related to travel or time constraints. These formats support ongoing access to care and allow clients to continue work between sessions in ways that fit their daily lives.
