Tia Gross

Tia Gross is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland with 16 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, career concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. Her approach is practical and person-focused, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

She draws on a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work to help people shift unhelpful thinking and build workable routines. Tia also uses relational and strength-based methods to highlight what already works in a person's life and expand those resources. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person's needs.

Tia's background includes work in correctional, outpatient, and community settings, which shaped her ability to adapt to different situations. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Towson University and a Master of Science in Applied Psychology - Counseling from the University of Baltimore. Her clinical title is Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, abbreviated as LCPC.

In sessions she aims to create a warm, straightforward atmosphere. Conversations focus on practical steps, coping skills, and decisions that fit daily life. This includes coaching-style work when people want help planning career moves or handling compassion fatigue.

People looking to start therapy are invited to consider what they most want to change and to prepare a few examples of recent challenges. That makes the first meetings more productive and helps shape a clear plan moving forward.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Many of the techniques Tia uses can be described plainly and applied in remote sessions. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to see what changes. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and work-related stress by creating concrete steps and tracking small wins.

Solution-focused work centers on practical goals and next steps. Sessions often concentrate on what clients want to be different and on short-term actions they can try between meetings. Relational and strength-based practices emphasize building on a person's existing skills and strengths to support recovery and growth.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust the plan as needed based on progress and feedback.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support continuity of care when life is in flux. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to practice skill building, problem solving, and planning in ways that work with everyday life.
