About Gina
Gina Gross is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She practices in Washington and draws on eight years of professional experience. Gina aims to create an open space where people can speak honestly about what they are feeling. She encourages anyone who has taken the first step to seek help and acknowledges that reaching out takes courage.
Gina uses practical, down-to-earth methods in sessions. She often helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small behavior changes, and name difficult emotions. For someone struggling with panic attacks or social anxiety, sessions include steady breathing work, simple thought checks, and planning for moments when anxiety spikes. She also supports people facing life transitions, grief, or shifts in identity related to LGBT concerns.
Her approach blends several models to match each person's needs. Gina listens first and then offers tools from cognitive behavior approaches and acceptance-based work. She pays attention to relationship histories and how attachments shape current reactions. That mix helps people get clearer about values, set small goals, and practice new responses in daily life.
Gina strives to keep things collaborative and straightforward. She helps people break big problems into manageable steps and track progress along the way. The focus is on real-world change that fits a person’s life and values.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when anxiety or panic arise. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce fear and avoidance in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to identify which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. That might mean trying a values-based exercise one week and a behavior experiment the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.
