About Carol
Carol Gross is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people work through anxiety, depression, addiction, and related concerns. She centers her work on practical skills and calm, steady guidance. Her style is direct but compassionate, aimed at helping people manage painful feelings and make clearer choices.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and a client-centered stance. Those approaches shape short exercises, thought-focused work, and attention practices that people can try between sessions.
How Carol works
Carol often emphasizes noticing what matters most to the individual and taking small steps toward those values. Her background includes long experience with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, sleep and eating concerns, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, and workplace strain.
That breadth lets her connect coping skills to everyday challenges like parenting stress, career decisions, and relationship tension. Sessions blend practical tools with reflective conversation. Carol explains skills plainly and helps people practice them in real life.
She uses short experiments, mindfulness exercises, and structured problem-solving to build momentum between meetings. People who want clear, steady support for managing strong emotions or making life changes may find her approach helpful. She works from Utah and offers online sessions in English for clients located in the United States.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy and flexibility
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then move toward what matters most in their life. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and challenges where avoidance has become a habit. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which often helps with stress, sleep, and impulse control.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals and preferences. She may try brief experiments with ACT or CBT tools and then adjust based on what helps most, keeping the client's priorities in view throughout the process.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow real-time face-to-face work and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework support, and ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
